The presented dissertation deals with the portrayal of the Bohemian homeland (“Heimat”) in the prosaic work by the Austrian writer Gertrud Fussenegger (1912-2009), born in Pilsen. The picture of homeland is analysed using Homi K. Bhabha’s theoretical notions “hybridity” and “third space” (without their postcolonial background). The goal of the dissertation is to find out how the cultural heterogenity of Bohemia is reflected in Fussenegger’s works. Another goal is to position Gertrud Fussenegger within the German literature in the Bohemian lands. The results of the analysed works show that in some aspects the texts go beyond binary, nationality-based models towards a more complex and heterogenic form of depicting the coexistence of Czechs and Germans (mainly at the level of depicting space and personal constellations). In other cases (especially when the texts present historical events or at the level of narrative space) there are noticeable antithetic schemes in the texts which portray the Czech and German culture as separate, opposing entities.
