The Napoleonic Wars of 1805 and 1809 also affected life in the territory of today’s Slovakia. A decisive role was played by Pressburg (Prešporok), today’s Bratislava. One of the valuable sources of information about the events of these years is the German-language chronicle “Kleines Protigol vom Jahre 1800 an”, which belonged to the family of the Pressburg winemaker Johann Georg Luntzer. In addition to records of a private nature, it included descriptions of historically significant events taking place in Pressburg during the first decade of the 19th century. Indepen dent researchers published selected parts of the chronicle as transcripts between 1895 and 1925. The transcripts are not identical; they differ in form and, in some cases, in content. The present paper is an annotated Slovak translation of those parts of the chronicle concerning the events of 1805 and 1809 in relation to Pressburg. The translation is based on the first transcription of the chronicle, in the footnotes supplemented by information found only in the second transcription of the chronicle. The more substantial discrepancies between both transcriptions are also pointed out. Currently, it is unknown whether the chronicle still exists or where it is located.
