Sažetak
This paper pays special attention to the part of archival records of the State Archive of Osijek designated with a HR-DAOS 476 mark. These records provide for evidence of travel between Valpovo and Vienna in the second half of the 18th century. Using travel bills first deposited in the manor archive and then transferred from Vienna to Valpovo together with other archival records, the author very thoroughly analyses a receipt proving the expenditure of the return to Vienna incurred by P. A. Hilleprand, aged 80, the owner of the Valpovo manor. He came to say goodbye to his estate and servants. The receipt includes horse-drawn carriage expenses, costs of food, small repairs, tips and reward for four holy masses. Two of them were served in Valpovo and Miholjac and the other two in Hungary, in Raab and Pruck (Bruck an der Leitha) near Vienna. The receipt starts with the unexpected expenditure for a boys’ church choir that sang during the sermon in the palace chapel of Valpovo. The paid reward was a clear proof that the choir performed before P. A. Hilleprand prior to his travel to Vienna in September 1756. The other travelis dated to December 1791. The short notes of secretary Paul Kirchmaijer are incorporated into the records on the stops between Vienna and Belje and accompanying costs. It took 12 days to get to Belje in winter conditions and two more days to arrive in Valpovo. In June 1795, three men with two coaches made a trip to Pest. On their way back, they brought new organs. A complex archival case of 1803 describes numerous works on equipping a boat bougth at the St. Margaret’s Fair of Vienna. The case reveals details on the boat’s crew and stages of its sail to Bratislava, Pest, Apatin, the confluence of the Drava River into the Danube and to Valpovo. The calculation involves personal information on the first people aboard and the weight of various cargoes shipped from Vienna and Pest. The calculation of F. Katzthaler and manor personnel demonstrates that the first sail from Vienna to Valpovo, resulted, with some differences in calculation, in profit obtained by Baron Josip Prandua.
