Abstract

The study examines the impact of the presence of military troops on the administration of Bohemian towns during the Thirty Years' War. Town administration remained basically functional until the Saxon and Swedish invasions after 1630.

Even during the military events representatives of municipal authorities were mostly able to put strategies in place to minimize the damage caused by the soldiers to the administration system (an example being the protection of vital documents).
