Abstract
After the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy, many Austrian nationalistic writers were reinforcing anti-Slavic resentment by means of highlighting the superiority of German culture and heritage over Slavic culture across the territory of the newly formed states. On the example of several historical novels, above all the novel “Die Fackel des Hus” (1929) by the Sudeten writer Karl Hans Strobel, who was one of the leading writers of the Viennese nationalist and pro-fascist faction in the First Austrian Republic, it is shown how national-patriotic and catholic writers fostered the myth of the elitism of German spiritual culture in Austria.
