- Abstract
Up to now, German stereotypes of Poland have been analysed under the auspices of nationalism, liberalism or imperialism. Works dealing with the development of German stereotypes about Poland in the 19th and 20th centuries primarily reflected the discourse of Protestant-liberal mainstream, which produced primarily negative images of Poland following the Vormärz. This paper, however, examines stereotypes of Poland within German-Catholic discourse. Against the background of the First World War, the analysis will consider in what way a transnational Catholic identity can be determined and how it disintegrates in favour of an increasingly nationally oriented identity. It becomes apparent that Catholics are increasingly employing stereotypes that were already present in Protestant discourse.
