Summary/Abstract: German language in Montenegro, to the extent that it had until 1918, was for the first time introduced in academic year 1903/04 in (Gymnasium) High School in Cetinje, ie 23 years after it was founded. Until then, the foreign languages taught in this High School were Russian, French, Greek and Latin. Reasons for changing the curriculum, which in addition to the above mentioned languages provided the introduction of German language learning, were the result of complex and interrelated factors. According to the results of our research, they can be classified into six groups: 1) Educational, 2) Historical (political), 3) Concerning personnel, 4) Concerning family and kinship 5) The impact of personalities around King Nikola, 6) Personal. Each of them is the subject of our brief analysis. The introduction of German language learning was very important for Montenegro because it opened the possibility of sending a larger number of students in renowned university centers, primarily in Austria and Germany
