In his treatise the author shows the scheme of the dwelling culture research as the leader of the research project of the University of Münster Hans Jürgen Teuteberg planned it. In the continuation of the treatise the author states that such a scheme of the dwelling culture research would be also ideal and useful for Slovene historians. The author ciles the preserved archive material he used for the research in the dwelling culture of Ljubljana between the years 1869 and 1910, and calls attention to the numerous difficulties and problems he was confronted with.
