Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the history of the German minority in Yugoslavia as a subject of German historiography since the end of World War II. Unlike German academic historiography, which did not pay much attention to this issue, it is prevalent in the circles of so-called native history of the Danube Swabians. The strong ideological influence and personal experiences of contemporaries that marked its approach have been gradually overcome over the past two decades, with the expansion of interest of German academic historiography in the history of German minorities in Eastern Europe. A part of this process is the revision of history of the German minority in Yugoslavia.
