The Pinterovi？ family in the sociopolitical and cultural life of Osijek

Sa？etak The paper deals with two generations of the Pinterovi？ family, with special attention paid to Antun and his son Milovan. Their work has been placed in the context of a few decades of the 20th century in life in Osijek, taking into account the time of their work and the wider area of Croatia and a part of neighbouring countries. Antun was well-known in political life, especially as a mayor of Osijek in World War I, as well as in the social and public life of the city on the Drava river, while Milovan, like his father, left traces in both law and politics. Danica is mentioned in the paper only sporadically, but she stays in the memory of many Osijek citizens until the 1980’s as a prominent representative of the cultural milieu, as one of the leading persons of Osijek’s museum life, an author of many articles and a capital book about the historical periods of this area, especially in the time of the ancient Mursa, and as a great expert in the Byzantine history, especially the period of Emperor Justinian
