Pavlína Chaloupská, abstrakt disertační práce Abstrakt: Práce analyzuje činnost nejdůležitějších německých alpských spolků působících v českých zemích a v meziválečném Československu od doby jejich vzniku do roku 1938. Na základě obecných a specifických vstupních informací souvisejících s alpinismem na konci 19. století je vysvětlena historie alpských spolků a následně rozebrána organizace DuÖAV (Deutscher und Österreichischer Alpenverein, Německý a rakouský alpský spolek). Práce je členěna dle geografického umístění jednotlivých sekcí. U každé sekce DuÖAV jsou sledovány okolnosti jejího vzniku, vymezeny oblasti působnosti, popsána vnitřní organizace a analyzováno ekonomické fungování. Podrobně je zmapována činnost spolků v Čechách i v Alpách s tím, že na základě výzkumu bylo zjištěno, že nejvýznamnější aktivitou alpských spolků byla výstavba chat v Alpách, které německé spolky z Čech vlastnily. Dalšími aktivitami byla organizace vůdcovství a záchranářství a v místě působnosti spolku pořádání přednášek, plesů a výletů. Dvě kapitoly jsou věnovány nejvýznamnějším osobnostem německého horolezectví v Čechách: Johannu Stüdlovi a Rudolfu Kauschkovi.KinantropologieFakulta tělesné výchovy a sportuFaculty of Physical Education and Spor
