Branko Pistivšek, the Germany-based Slovenian emigrant from NE Slovenia, who was an ardent devotee of the idea of an independent Slovenian state, Slovenian national identity, and God, and who condemned and criticised the pressure of German nationalism on Carinthian Slovenians, the immigration of Serbs and other peoples from the Balkans to the Slovenian ethnic territory, and especially the Yugoslav communist authorities, tried to pave his way to the very top of the Slovenian political emigration with the editing of Slovenski glas. He found inspiration for his political views in the Slovenian Roman Catholic priest Lambert Ehrlich and his followers, who had started before the Second World War the Straža Catholic studentsʼ club.

Matthäus Reiser was second member of his family to lead the city of Maribor. Born in the grand duchy of Baden in Southern Germany in 1830, he was brought to Lower Styria by his uncle Othmar Reiser, who served as mayor of Maribor as well, already as a boy. The younger Reiser married Ida Puchelt, a Protestant of Saxon origins, twenty-one years his junior. Serving at the city council ever since 1861, he was elected mayor at the relatively young age of 40, remaining in this position for next twelve years. His tenure can be described as a small Maribor counterpiece to the "Gründerzeit" in Vienna. Immediately after the death of the famous son of Maribor, Wilhelm Tegetthoff, an initiative to erect a monument in his honour was started. On the other hand, Reiser opposed the activities of Maribor Slovenes to erect a monument to Anton Martin Slomšek, bishop of Lavant. Reiser died in 1895.

This discussion focuses on the most important events regarding the fight among Lutherans and Catholics in Šaleška valley in the last quarter of the 16th century. The most important events in the valley are stressed - the fight among Lutheran nobility and catholic priests, that was centred around the question of rights to the church of Mother of God in Velenje, for which, with arguments of force or force of arguments, the castellan of Velenje Baltazar Wagen and the priest of Škala were fighting. The discussion is based on the documents from the former parish archive of the church of St. George in Škale, that was for objective or especially subjective reasons destroyed or lost. The author thus uses the extensive regesta, published by Ignaz Orožen, who was the only one still able to use the archival material before it was lost.

Andreas Tappeiner (1810-1868) was without a doubt one of the most successful mayors in the 19th century. Born as a citizen of Maribor, he was also one of the most dynamic of citizens - locals of his time. He was mayor between 1861-1867, and before that he was also mayor in Lovrenc na Pohorju (1850-1853). He enhanced his mayoral career by holding the simultaneous position of representative of the city in the provincial assembly of Styria and for a short time also with the position as head of district representation in Maribor. Because of a long running mysterious disease he resigned from all posts just two months before he died. If his public life reads almost as a perfect story of career success, much less is known of his family (father, mother, brothers and sisters) and his private life. The centre of this piece is the exploration of lesser known images of the private life of the Tappeiner family in Celje and Maribor, with focus on Andreas and his father Johann. In this exploration the author attempts to remain impartial and realistic. Also published in this piece for the first time are photographs from his private archival unit held by the Maribor Regional Museum.
