The Cultural Activities of Croats in Berlin (1974-1990)
Srećko LIPOVČAN
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.
