German minorities in the former Yugoslavia

Germans in Yugoslavia

There were only 8,712 Germans in Yugoslavia in the 1981 census (down from 55,000 in the 1948 census). There were two main distinct German groups in old Yugoslavia: the small minority of Gotschee Germans, in Slovenia (see in another page), speaking a Bavarian dialect; and the Germans of the Danube Basin, the Danube Swabians or Donauschwaben, loctated in settlements of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia (Yugoslavia). The Croat-Serb war and the Bosnian war of the 1990's have probably strongly diminished the German communities. Today, there are probably no Germans in Bosnia (see small list of old settlements), and very few in Serbia (present-day Yugoslavia) and Croatia.

Alemanak Jugoslavian

1981ko erroldan soilik 8.712 aleman zeuden Jugoslavian (1948an, berriz, 55.000 ziren). Bi taldetan bana zitezkeen aleman horiek: Gotschee-ko Alemanak Eslovenian (ikus beste orri honetan), Bavariar dialektoz mintzo zirenak; eta Danubioko Suabiar edo Donauschwaben direlakoak, Bosnia, Kroazia eta Serbian banatuak. Kroaziako eta Bosniako gerrek, 1990koetan, gogor astinduko zituzten komunitate horiek, pentsatzekoa denez. Seguruenik ez dago jada alemanik Bosnian (ikus kokaleku zaharren gure zerrendatxoa), eta oso gutxi Kroazian eta gaurko Jugoslavian (Serbian, alegia).

Germans in Croatia

In present day Croatia, Germans are one of the recognised minorities (usually labelled as Germans and Austrians) with a seat reserved in Parliament. Their main cultural centre is in Osijek (Esseg), where there is a kindergarten and a few elementary schools giving classes in German. The German-settlement area of Croatia (mainly Eastern Slavonia) was ravaged by war with Serbs, so probably the remaining communities are very small.

Alemanak Kroazian

Gaur egungo Kroazian, alemanak gutxiengo ezagutua dira ("aleman eta austriarrak" esaten zaie), eta Parlamentuan toki bat izateko eskubidea ere badute. Beren zentro kulturala Osijek hirian dago (alemanez Esseg), non haur eskolak ere badiren alemanez. Ekialdeko Eslavonia da alemanen eremua Kroazian, Serbiarrekin izandako gerrak gogorren astindutako lurrak, eta beraz, geratzen diren alemanak oso gutxi behar dute izan.
