Summary/Abstract: The study analyses, how the political change after 1918 influenced the conditions of churches in relation to ethnic affiliations. It shows with an emphasis on the Germans in Czechoslovakia how activities of foreign confessional groups altered the terms in the examined churches. The paper concerns an overview that should follow further detailed analyses of the relation between confessional and ethnic minorities in the interwar period.
