| Research Abstract |
Against the backdrop of the flourishing nationalism, "the expatriate Germans", the Germans living out of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, took a political role as "a cultural outpost" of ethnic Germans. Because of these political functions, the so-called "Expatriate German-Studies" was energetically institutionalized as an interdisciplinary field. After the end of the World War II., however, it was made taboo, and its academic achievements were erased from history. Our research team collected and unearthed many materials and historical records about this academic field, especially its literary and linguistic branch, and reconsidered its academic achievements. In addition, we considered its political influence based on the political and social background of the ethnic German minorities.
