Kto się lubi, ten się czubi, czyli bez stereotypów mało ciekawe sąsiedztwo
Those are friends who round the bend. How stereotypes make the neighborhood interesting

Summary/Abstract: The article presents observations made during a seminar on auto-stereotypes and hetero-stereotypes of Germans and Poles living in Germany. Main Polish and German cultural standards were submitted into scrutiny. An auto-stereotype of a German has become more negative recently, but an auto-stereotype of a Pole who lives in Federal Republic of Germany has become more positive. After the events of the 1990 the differences in Polish and German cultural standards have been minimized. Many negative hetero-stereotypes have become unknown to students: the ones that exist today are more positive.
