Legal Dispositions Of Matilda Hengl - A Review Of The Legal Position Of Women In The First Half Of The 20th Century

The period at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was marked by progressive development and modernization in almost all areas of social and economic activity in the city of Osijek. In such circumstances of social development, prominent Osijek businessmen, mostly industrialists, had an immense influence on the political, cultural and intellectual life of the city. Among the many, the influence of the Gillming Hegl family is special, ie the married couple Vjekoslav and Matilda, to whom significant attention has been paid in numerous historical studies. Those studies largely deal with the political influence of male members or the family legacy of two families. The contribution of these studies is immeasurable, but they rarely reflect the position of female family members in areas other than cultural or social.Therefore, this paper attempts to determine the legal characteristics of the position of female members of prominent Osijek families at the beginning of the 20th century, on the example of Matilda Hengl, yob. Gillming. The research will use a historical legal method to reconstruct her ownership dispositions in terms of valuable real estates, which are still the center of social life in the city. The results of a comprehensive analysis of the available archival material should clearly determine the foundations of the legal position of women in Osijek society in the first half of the last century, but also indicate the need for further research in this legal area.
