Slovník sudetoněmeckých nářečí a jeho historie: K nálezu ztracené kartotéky ke slovníku sudetoněmeckých nářečí

This article is a report about the discovery of the original card file of the Sudeten German dialects which was missing since World War II. The dialect card file has been established and collected at the German University in Prague, Czechoslovakia between 1930 and 1945 under the direction of the Bohemian German professor Ernst Schwarz. It was designed to serve as a basis for the first dictionary of German dialects in former Czechoslovakia. The card file and other materials were lost without trace after the War. The card file appeared again in spring 2010 as part of the legacy of the Czech Germanist Emil Skála. The report traces back the fate of the card file and depicts the circumstances of its discovery. Some of the others materials (like dialect maps etc.) were also discovered in another place. Finally it is scrutinized, which future perspectives there might be with regard to the evaluation of the material.
