Description

The article aims to reconstruct the experience of Miren’s exiled shoemaker cooperative in the Savinja Valley during the First World War. It draws on two sources, the history of the cooperative, written by its long-standing leader Anton Vuk, and the diary for part of 1917, kept by its secretary Leopold Kemperle. When Italy entered the war, the inhabitants of Miren were evacuated as early as 23 May 1915. The leadership of the shoemaker cooperative (established in 1907) chose Altenburg Castle (Slo. Vrbovec) at Rečica in the Savinja Valley as a suitable accommodation for its workshops and settled workers in the nearby area. Even in exile, the organization continued to abide by its cooperative principles by systematically ensuring material supply and the production of military and civilian footwear, by provisioning the refugee colony with food, clothing, firewood, and coal, and by distributing refugee and military support.

      • Članek poskuša rekonstruirati begunsko izkušnjo čevljarske zadruge iz Mirna v Savinjski dolini med prvo svetovno vojno. Temelji na dveh virih, zgodovini čevljarske zadruge, ki jo je napisal njen dolgoletni vodja Anton Vuk (1883–1967), in dnevniku za del leta 1917, ki ga je vodil tajnik zadruge Leopold Kemperle (1886–1950). Po vstopu Italije v vojno so se morali prebivalci Mirna izseliti že 23. maja 1915. Vodstvo čevljarske zadruge (ustanovljena 1908) je primerne prostore za delavnice našlo v gradu Vrbovec pri Rečici v Savinjski dolini, družine delavcev in delavk pa so naselili v okoliških krajih. Čevljarska zadruga je tudi v begunstvu delovala po zadružnih načelih, sistematično je skrbela za proizvodnjo vojaške in civilne obutve, dobavo materiala, preskrbo begunske kolonije z živili, obleko, drvmi in premogom ter za begunske in vojaške podpore.
