Summary/Abstract: The study aims to illustrate the effect of political power within the literary field between 1965-1975 as reflected in the German periodical Volk und Kultur. Next to the weekly Karpatenrundschau or to the important monthly magazine of literature Neue Literature, the periodical Volk und Kultur could not always come off the cultural policy conducted by Ceauşescu regime. Thus, by analyzing the published literary texts and translations in the periodical Volk und Kultur we aim at describing important phenomena of cultural policy during the liberalization between 1968-1971, followed by an increasing dogmatization period after July 1971.The study also provides an overview of the dynamics between cultural policy and the published literature (mainly translations of Romanian authors) in the periodical Volk und Kultur.
