Abstract
he text is a reflexion, accompanied by documentary materials, of the ,,differentness" of history of nations and inhabitants of Central Europe, who lived through broadly the same events, but who interpret their common history differently. The differences concern every-day life in its ordinary as well as festive aspects.
The different histories also play an important role in the social and political life of central Europe, and as such need to be treated not only by social and humanistic science but should also be subject of school curricula. The importance of different interpretations of common history is all the more significant as it is part of a world as lived and experienced by people and many of its social and individual aspects are present subconsciously.
