The present essay does not aim to map in detail the institutional developments within the community of the Viennese Czechs nor does it focus on its social transformation, although it makes use of this broad framework. Its primary focus is on reflections and celebrations of Czechoslovak public holidays and other important days in the Czech-Viennese milieu. One of the central questions is to what extent Czechoslovak festivities resonated spontaneously there, and to what extent the Czechoslovak state contributed to the motivation for these ceremonies as an indoctrination tool.
