Summary/Abstract: Article describes debates and political resolutions that result from them and took place during deliberations of the most important council body on Lower Silesia, which was provincial sejm (Provinziallandtag) in a period of Weimar republic. Course of these provincial sejms when political resolutions were adopted is talked over in this article. Main theme is analysis of deliberation’s course with the benefit of shorthand notes of clerks of the court. Thanks to the notes it is possible to acquaint oneself with political views of main political groups. The debates were often demagogic, especially these of NSDAP’s KPD’s parliamentary representatives. These political groups became gravediggers of Weimar republic. Article shows how deepened economic crisis influenced political views of parliamentary representatives, who belonged to political groups of the interwar years.
