Summary/Abstract: During the interwar period, Romanian citizens of German ethnicity had an impressive journalistic activity, in keeping with the Romanian Constitution of 1923 and that of 1938, enjoying freedom of the press, just like the Romanian language publications in the country. Therefore, in this period, all German publications flourished. The representatives of the German ethnic community published in this period more than 40 religious periodicals. The present paper is the result of extensive documentation work in the archives of the Central University Library in Cluj-Napoca, supplemented by the literature in the field. However, the created inventory doesn’t claim to be exhaustive.
