Summary/Abstract: In the text a survey is given of the cultural activities of Croats in Berlin in the period from 1974 to 1990, based on the author’s documentation and personal insight. The paper deals with a segment of life of a large population (almost 20,000 people, as many as some smaller Croatian cities have!), who satisfied their cultural needs within the Croatian Catholic Mission (established in 1969), or in various forms of activity in their own association, the Croatian Cultural and Sport Community, founded in 1984. Analysed are also activities that took place (in Yugoslav and German associations) under the Yugoslav name, in which Croats took part as well. This is the first attempt of its kind to present and systematize available data, for, systematical research of German, Yugoslav and Croatian sources is yet to come. This study is also a summons for conceiving a comprehensive research project.
