The present study takes two tendencies into account that have shaped the cultural contact between the Romanian culture and the culture of the German minority in Romania. On the one hand, the re-writing of history respectively of the historical discourse according to cultural policy of the Romanian communist state is envisaged, on the other hand, the selection of articles on Romanian culture and literature published in the weekly Karpatenrundschau are analysed in order to trace tendencies cultural transfer.
The Corona pandemic confronts any academic exchange with major difficulties, with which Romanian germanists successfully come to turns. Considering the actual context of continuity and change the authors of the ensuing article analyse the Kronstädter Beiträge zur germanistischen Forschung Yearbook highlight ingone of its major points of interest namely the somewhat controversial phenomenon of German literature written in Romania. The article delineates the development of the journal from its beginning up to the present moment, when it can be found in important databases for academic use and research purposes.
Die Wende 1989 in Joachim Wittstocks Erzählung "In der Nachbarschaft. Von der Schwäche der Macht"
(2010)
The present article deals with Joachim Wittstock’s story In der Nachbarschaft. Von der Schwäche der Macht. Wittstock’s narration presents in the form of a diary the upheaval of 1989 in Sibiu, Romania. We try to analize the story in a wider context, as we consider that the changes of 1989 in Eastern Europe cannot be judged only within the context of their own country, they have to be judged against the European context. Overcoming dictatorship in 1989/91 in East-Central Europe can be regarded as a culturally formative era border; through the restoration of freedom there was a change within all societies of the former Soviet bloc.
How the Romanian Revolution is depicted in Wittstock’s text will be discussed in the following article. The importance of the text for the consolidation of the collective and cultural memory is also an issue stressed in the present analysis.
Fiktion und Fakten am Beispiel Carmen Elisabeth Puchianus Prosaband "Amsel – schwarzer Vogel"
(2017)
Literary productions live in a multi-dimensional context. On the one hand, the author and his/her reality play a significant role in the creation of the text; on the other hand, the reference to reality takes place through reception, that is, in a dimension where the author and the text are powerless. I would like to research on Carmen Elisabeth Puchianu’s stories Amsel–schwarzer Vogel (München 1995) from this point of view, as some texts have triggered outrageous reactions. These can be explained to some extent as a confusion between fact and fiction as well as a rejection of new literary discourses both in the German literature in Romania and Romanian literature after the political changes in 1989.
Considering the sixty years long existence of the German weekly in Braşov an exhaustive research of the publication on the way from a centralized to a globalized socio-political system becomes imperious. Our article represents a first approach to pinpoint the choice of poetry published by the German weekly Karpatenrundschau during the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties as a consequence of both political compromise and aesthetic demand. In this respect the article analyses the German weekly as one of the main promoters of German poetry written in Romania. The article is based on our research done in the archives of the weekly in Braşov.

The present paper deals with inter- and hypertextual relations between two unpublished elegies of the Romanian poet of German origin Anemone Latzina and R M. Rilke’s Duino Elegies. The research aims at uncovering the importance of Rilke as an author of the German Modernity in times of dictatorship, as Rilke’s texts provided trust, hope, courage and strength. So the reception of the German poetry of the Modernity is to be understood both as individual as well as generational.
