- Abstract
In the first half of the 20th century, the cultural life of the town of Koprivnica was marked by the activities of the cultural-educational and singing association »Domoljub« founded in 1909. It was the second such association in town since the Croatian Singing Association »Podravac« was founded there in 1874. »Domoljub« was founded as a craft and as a working, educational and singing association with the aim of bringing together the broadest social classes. Due to its focus on broad and lower social classes (craftsmen, workers, peasants), we can consider this association as a kind of opponent to the older »Podravac« where representatives of the town and of higher social classes gathered. According to Dragutin Feletar, the Croatian Craftsman Educational and Singing Association »Domoljub« in Koprivnica was founded with the aim of resisting Germanization and Hungarianization in the ancient Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. A recognizable symbol of the »Domoljub« association was their home known by the same name that still exists today, and which houses the Public Open University. The Domoljub Hall was built in 1919 on the incentive of the board of directors of the company. It is rare to see that an event in the history of Koprivnica speaks so vividly about the level of cultural development, the joint actions of holders of economic and cultural life of the town and the architectural heritage of Koprivnica in the 20th century.
