Carl Gottlob Moráwek , also written Morawek or Moraweck (born August 15, 1816 in Zittau ; † January 1, 1896, ibid) was a German homeland researcher and folk educator. He is considered one of the most important local researchers in the Zittau area.

Live and act

Moráwek's ancestors came from Bohemia on his father's side. He earned his living as an art gardener in Zittau. From 1846 to 1886 Moráwek lived on Gartenstrasse, a suburban street predominantly populated by gardeners, which today is called Morawekstrasse. The Moráwek memorial stone was erected on the site of his unsuccessful house.

Moráwek trained himself to become a historical researcher and worked in the Zittau workers' education association. He published - mostly self-published - numerous papers and gave lectures on the local history of Zittau and the surrounding villages. Zittavia , published in 1848/49, is today considered to be one of the standard works on the city history of Zittau.

Moráwek's estate is in the possession of the Christian Weise Library and the Zittau Municipal Museums.

Honors

In his hometown of Zittau, as well as in Hörnitz , streets bear his name. The Moráwek monument is located on the promenade at Karl-Liebknecht-Ring in Zittau, the bust was restored in 2014.

At the instigation of the Zittau History and Museum Association, the restored memorial plaque was placed on the Moráwek memorial stone on August 15, 2016.
