Churches, Chapels, Prayer Rooms and Parishes of Protestant Church Abstrakt This study analyses the liquidation process of the German Protestant Church in Bohemia, Mo Silesia, the fourth largest Czech church, in the era after World War II. The analysis exam of the religious buildings of the church. Research was based on newly discovered archive m Protestant provenience, which also give us a picture of post-war religiousness in the newl borderlands, as well as on the material gathered in the publication Encyclopaedia of Moder and Old Catholic Churches in Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia (2009). The existence of t Protestant Church lost its justification in connection with the post-war movement/expulsio Germans, the author shows that the liquidation of and the other manipulation with its prop carried out with a distinctly nationalistic, political and other unrelated motives. The as Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church with the Communist regime led to the fact that it temporaril of the property during the first decades of the regime. In the long-term, however, the hig of Protestant communities prevailed, and the dominant "inheritor" of the German Protestant property was the Protestant Church of the Czech Brethren. Some other religious groups also this inheritance. Just over half of the possessions were lost altogether for religious use the secularisation of church property is only one of the causes of religion disappearing f sphere; other causes include the weakening of religious life and the de facto self-enclosu communities, whose religiosity was unable to appeal to the wider masses. The remaining rel that still serve their original purpose today are perceived only as "hollows", which by th existence do not allow understandable, i.e. secular use of space.
