Mihael Ambrož (1808- 1864) was mayor of Ljubljana between the years 1861 and 1864. He was distinctly pro-Slovenian, which made it difficult for him to govern. With his personality, appearance and heartiness he was rather unique among Slovenian politicians of the 19. century as well as among the mayors of Ljubljana. He strived for unity among the Slovenian and German inhabitants, but he also wanted to be mayor to all the citizens of Ljubljana first and foremost. As mayor he provided an example that was later politically not continued. Lawyer dr. Etbin Henrik Costa (1832-1875) was mayor between the years 1864 and 1869, and was one of the most contradictory individuals in Slovenian politics. Even his contemporaries did not know whether he should be considered Slovenian or "uskok" - one who switched to the German or at least "Deutschtümler" side when he personally benefited from itAvtor v prispevku predstavlja prva ljubljanska demokratična župana. Mihael Ambrož (1808-1864) je bil župan Ljubljane med letoma 1861 in 1864. Bil je izrazito slovensko usmerjen, zato je v tedanjem času težko shajal. S svojim značajem, zunanjostjo in srčnostjo je bil nekaj posebnega med slovenskimi politiki 19. stoletja, pa tudi ljubljanskimi župani. Prizadeval si je za enotnost med nemškim in slovenskim prebivalstvom, hotel je biti župan Ljubljančanov. S svojim županovanjem je postavil model, ki v političnem pogledu ni našel nadaljevanja. Pravnik dr. Etbin Henrik Costa (1832-1875) je bil ljubljanski župan med letoma 1864 in 1869 in je bil ena najbolj kontradiktornih slovenskih političnih osebnosti. Že njegovi sodobniki si niso bili na jasnem, ali ga sploh smejo prištevati za Slovenca ali pa je uskok, ki je iz osebnih koristi preskočil iz nemškega ali vsaj nemškutarskega v slovenski taborTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZgodovinsko društvo dr.
