Summary/Abstract: Based on various archival and published sources, press and journals, as well as on Serbian and Danube-Swabian historiographical literature, the paper tries to reconstruct the main streams of the development of the German minority education in the territory of the Vojvodina during the inter-war period. Apart from the demands of the German minority for education in mother tongue voiced immediately after the foundation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia which would lead to the establishment of the German educational autonomy in the form of a parallel school system at the eve of WWII, discussed are the reasons of foreign and domestic policy which in” uenced the attitude of the government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to the demands of the German minority in the Vojvodina. With that view in mind, the development of the German education in the Vojvodina was regarded in the context of the general development of the Yugoslav state and its educational policy during the inter-war period.
