abstract
Topical Issues of the German Minority in the 21st Century The paper describes topical issues of the German minority in the Czech Republic. The German minority is the third largest in the country; however today it just reminds of the fact that before their after-war relocation Germans lived in the territory of the Czechoslovak Republic along with the Czechs and other ethnic and language minorities. The author focuses on the socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the German minority, which significantly determine their position within the Czech Republic. The aim is to describe basic circumstances of forming the ethnic identity of Czech Germans with a special regard to their cultural and union life and the specificity of using the German language as their internal communication code used inside the minority. The author tackles the fact that the minority has no intellectual representatives which has a substantial impact upon the quality of their activities.
