Die Darstellung der Reformation in Westpommern in Veröffentlichungen aus der Zeit des kommunistischen Polen
The Picture of the Reformation in Pomerania in the Writing of the Polish People’s Republic

Summary/Abstract: After 1945 a bigger portion of West Pomerania became part of the Polish Recovered Territories; the legitimisation of the fact was looked for in the history of those lands. The article is an attempt to demonstrate how the Reformation in West Pomerania was depicted in the publications printed in the period of the Polish People’s Republic (1945–1989). The author concentrates on political questions – especially the ones concerning the effects of the Reformation – and on references to the Reformation in the fragments where the historical process is explained. The author analyses the image of the Reformation in the most important academic works, monographs of counties and towns, the literature written by Catholic ecclesiastical hierarchs, belles-lettres, pieces of reportage, tourist guides and collections of legends
