Czechoslovak land reform and the estates of foreigners in Slovakia. The case of the baronial von Steiger-Munsingen family
2019
Abstract
The authors were concerned with land reform on the large Haim' Nova Ves estate. which belonged to Maria von Steiger-Munsingen, later Savioli, who had Swiss and later Italian citizenship. The aim was both to identify the main parameters of the land reform on the Hajna Nova Ves estate and compare it with the situation elsewhere, while also finding out how far the implementation of land reform was affected if a landowner could rely on support from the government of a neutral state or later the originally allied Italy.
