The topic of this year’s series of lectures and workshops is the European Railway Heritage – euRAILher. The relevance of the chosen topic reflects primarily in its European character, which is based on the actuality of the theme at the European level and joining the initiative of the European Parliament to declare 2021 the European Year of Rail.
The European Year of Rail aims to promote the historical, social, cultural and economic significance of the railway, which has always been a generator of development and a factor of European integration. The euRAILher module contributes to raising the level of awareness of the local community about the values and potentials of the railway heritage, increasing interest in the mutual / European railway heritage, improving access to the railway heritage and developing its cultural and tourist potential.
This book presents the outcomes of research conducted to examine various aspects of the European railway heritage, starting with theoretical, historical, sociological, architectural, tourist and others.
