Summary/Abstract: This study is based on an analysis of unpublished sources of Austrian provenance and academic sources, and it analyses Austrian Minister to Prague Ferdinand Marek’s (1881–1947) perception of German political activism over the period from the parliamentary election in November 1925 until the German ministers joined the Czechoslovak Government in October 1926. Using these sources and publications, the study shows how the domestic political situation changed during this period in Czechoslovakia, resulting in a transformation of established constraints for government co-operation, allowing for the establishment of a new executive majority of central and civic political parties.
