Second name, Zidek, was Kapellan, which is German version of Czech word kaplan.<br />Both were priests assisting and helping local clergyman who was responsible for the parish. I don't know the precise difference between these two. Recent sources suggest that these terms (or positions rather) are identical. My guess would be that kooperátor was senior of the two.Kulanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537069944745733784noreply@blogger.com
