// - 11 - 1930 only 370 Germans lived in the municipalities belonging to this region with about 15 000 Czechs, the German influence in this area is therefore still small at the present time, but will soon become more noticeable, as soon as the customs borders have fallen and the previously existing change effects in the economic relations with the German municipalities beyond the border re-establish, The prince Lichtenstein has in this region larger forest areas, to conclude with the above remarks, that the area of the Brünn bridge - Olmütz covers approximately an area of 90 - 95 000 ha, including the urban areas of Brno and Olmutz. It was inhabited in 1930 by about 140 000 Czechs and 12 000 Germans. These figures are called to give a general overview of the figures to be reckoned with. They prove that there is still a long way to go before one can speak of a "German" bridge through the country of Moravia.
