Immigration is one of the most contentious fields of contemporary European urban policy. While the devel-opment of urban segregation is well documented in traditional immigration countries with population reg-ister data, there is a lack of detailed research on population dynamics in many countries and cities across Europe. This article examines ethnic residential segregation in Czechia in the period after the economic crisis of 2008. Special attention is paid to the trajectories of individual cities and their position in the urban hier-archy. Longitudinal population register data are used and segregation indicators of unevenness and expo-sure are computed for the largest cities using a detailed spatial grid. The results show a broad picture of decreasing segregation despite the continuously growing number of immigrants in the country. While the economic crisis temporarily halted immigration, the spatial patterns of immigrant dissimilarity did not change and more-established immigration gateway cities experienced an increase in spatial isolation. In the conclusion, the article calls for further discussion on ethnic residential segregation in post-socialist cities.

Starting with Bologna and Paris, a classical model of a European university usually contained four faculties: theological, philosophical, legal (of secular and canon law) and medical. One must remember that establishing theological faculty had to be agreed with the Holy See. The same university structure existed in Poland too, when in 1364 the Cracow University came into being. Beginning from 1397 it had its Theological Faculty. The faculty also functioned at other universities: in Vilnius (1578), in Zamość (the Zamość Academy, 1595), in Lviv (1759), in Warsaw (1817), in Lublin (the Catholic University of Lublin, 1918), again in Warsaw (the Academy of Catholic Theology, 1954 and later the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University, 1999), in Opole (1994), in Poznań (1988), in Olsztyn (1999), in Katowice (2000), in Toruń (2001) and in Szczecin (2003).

Besides, after eradication of the Theological Faculty in Cracow, there came into being Papal Theological Faculty (1959), transformed into Papal Theological Academy (1974). A Theological Faculty was also founded in Wrocław (1964), transformed into Papal Theological Faculty (1974), in Poznań (1968), transformed into Papal Theological Faculty (1974) and then in Warsaw – as the Papal Theological Faculty (1982). The Catholic University of Lublin (where there was a Theological Faculty), as well as Papal Theological Faculties have got the status of ecclesiastical schools which are treated as higher education public schools.

In the Third Polish Republic (aft er 1989) there were created theological faculties at the following public universities: in Opole (1994), in Olsztyn (1999), at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw (1999), in Poznań (1998), in Katowice (2000), in Toruń (2001) and in Szczecin (2003). In accordance with the regulations of Polish law and canon law, the named above faculties are liable to both ecclesiastical authorities and state authorities.

The purpose of the paper is to discuss the Zernecke family’s library curated by PAN Biblioteka Gdańska.
Walter Friedrich Heinrich Zernecke (1862–1925) bequeathed his book-collection (1321 volumes) and his family collection of souvenirs to the library. The author reconstructed the contents of the collection on the basis of marks of ownership that occur in the survived books. The collection consists mainly of books devoted to historical, heraldic and genealogical studies (by Jacob Heinrich, Daniel Andreas, Valentin Heinrich, Wilhelm Ferdinand and Walter Friedrich Heinrich). Zernecke’s manuscript collection contains materials written by prominent members of the Zernecke family (Jacob Heinrich, Heinrich and Daniel Andreas). The most valuable part of the collection is a group of iconographic materials including an oil painting (Heinrich Zernecke’s portait by J. Wessel), engravings and photographic portraits of the family members and their book plates.
