description

The aim of the paper is an attempt to recreate the process of the emergence of the German minority movement in the period of the political transition in the years 1989-1992 on the basis of materials from the Opole daily press. The choice of this period is dictated by the desire to show the initial stages of development of this community and its organizational form. It was during the period in mention that the German minority not only expanded the territorial range of its organizational structures and profiled its activities, but most of all it outlined the scope of its influence on the social and political life at the local and regional level in the Opolskie Voivodeship. The processes that took place in the years 1989 - 1992 are still a point of reference to the contemporary activity of the German minority in Opole Silesia. Casting a light on this process with the use of press materials allows to recreate not only the chronology of events, but also the social and political emotions that accompanied this process
