Summary/Abstract: In autumn 1984 Jerzy Giedroyc published a German issue of Kultura. It contained articles by Polish authors such as Konstanty Jeleński, Adam Michnik, Zdzisław Najder, Jan Józef Lipski, Jerzy Stempowski, Czesław Miłosz, Gustaw Herling-Grudziński and Stanisław Swianiewicz. This list of renowned names emphasized the wish to familiarize the German reader with the greatest writers closely or loosely connected with the Literary Institute. The issue contained texts not only on the Polish-German relations, but was also a genuine attempt at promoting Kultura in German circles. An article by Swaniewicz was dedicated to the life of Władysław Studnicki – the most important representative of the pro-German faction during War World I and the Second Polish Republic. The article has never been published in the Polish language. Courtesy of the Literary Institute in Masoins-Laffitte, Folia Historica Cracoviensa presents the original Polish work which was later translated into German. It is a very special text.
