Cemeteries represent a unique aspect of a country’s heritage, encompassing various dimensions of cultural, historical, and social significance. More than many other forms of heritage, cemeteries often reflect what can be described as ‘heritage from below’. This paper examines cemeteries in the borderlands of the Czech Republic, specifically the region historically known as the Sudetenland. Before the Second World War, this area was predominantly inhabited by Germans, most of whom were expelled and replaced by Czech settlers after the war. These population changes led to a significant transformation of the landscape, which was further shaped under the Communist regime through policies such as collectivisation and changes to the nature of the national border. The presentation explores general trends in the transformation of cemeteries in the Sudetenland from the 1950s to the present. In addition, it includes a case study of a specific cemetery in the region. The research adopts an interdisciplinary approach, integrating anthropological fieldwork with the study of written sources and archaeological investigations. The paper situates these findings within the broader context of cultural and landscape changes and introduces the Land Gone Wild project, which combines archaeology, memory studies, and critical heritage studies.
