English Translation
Z in the northern Moravian territory under the long-standing leadership of the Olomouc Lord Mayor Fišer had to show particularly visible results of the Czech folk struggle. In the OLB Olomouz - the German population of Olomouk-Stadt and Olomovice-Land did not include to spread German-speaking German - live currently about 5,8oo persons, who declared themselves to Germanism. The numerical strength of this scattered German population, which lives mainly in the larger cities of OLB Olmütz, is distributed as follows: District of Lithuania ..........around 1.ioo Deutsche Proßnitz.......................... 1.750 "1 Prerau............................. 870 " Kremsier .............." 470 1 Moravian-WeiBkirchen ....... " 1,640 t The recording of the scattered Germans after the establishment of the Protectorate was only slowly progressing as in other areas of the protectorate and is still by no means complete. Many German-born people have not yet dared to profess their nationality for any reason, mostly economic. The Czech unitary party "National Community" also used its reception campaign much earlier than the recording of Germanism immediately after the establishment of the Protectorate and thus gained some members of the German-Czech intermediate class. Especially those circles of the scattered Germans, which are still strongly bound to their Czech environment today, especially small merchants and craftsmen, carried out their report on Germanism hesitantly and with strong thinking. In fact, in many places an increased boycott against traders, who confessed to Germanism, could be established. Especially large is the number of those, mostly women, who have entered a mixed marriage and now with regard to the Czech spouse, on whose pressure or their Czech-bred children for the sake of at least a late commitment to Germanism still refrain today.
