abstract
The text summarises the formulation of the expression the Cheb Region and its derivatives (the Historical Cheb Region, the Slavic Cheb Region, the pre- Staufen, or Staufen Cheb Region) in Czech-German discourse and primarily in the discourse on the Cheb region itself. It notices both the period social context and the methodological and particularly the source starting points of the individual research circles. The core of the study is a discussion with the concept of the so-called historical Cheb region, whose author is the founder of Cheb modern historiography H. Gradl (1842–1895), and observation of the influence of this considered construction in the work of further generations of German and Czech medievalists.
