Iulia Elena Zup, Vereinsleben der deutschen Minderheit in Rumänien zur Zeit der Weimarer Republik: Kulturelle und wissenschaftliche Vereine
The present article deals with the activities of the most important cultural and scientific societies
of the German minority in all provinces of Greater Romania: in the Old Kingdom (Wallachia
and Moldavia) and in the territories newly incorporated after World War I (Transylvania, Banat,
Bukovina and Bessarabia). The goals of such societies were to preserve the German culture and
language and to promote the interests of the “Germans of Romania,” representing 4.1% of the
total population, through projects, cultural and scientific publications, a summer university and
cooperation with scientists in Romania and abroad.
