Die deutsche Presse der Zwischenkriegszeit in Klausenburg/Cluj, Hermannstadt/Sibiu und Temesvar/Timişoara
The German Press from Cluj, Sibiu and Timişoara in the Interwar Years

Summary/Abstract: In 1918, the Transylvanian Saxons, the Banat Svabians, the Schwaben from Satu Mare, the Ziper Saxons, the Germans from Basarabia, Bukowina and the Romanian Kingdom constituted the German Minority in Romania and in the same time the most numerous German minority from South-East Europe, numbering about 800.000 persons. Despite the fact that they numbered only 240.000 individuals, the Transylvanian Saxons were the core of the German minority. In the aftermath of the First World War disputes concerning the international protection of ethnic minorities took place, and there were signed several treaties in this respect. The minorities addressed their petitions to the League of Nations collective bodies. The implications of their recognition as collective entities are disputable.
