Journal Article
O liebes Land, o Belgiens Erde: the development of the German-speaking community in Belgium reflected in the light of the Flemish struggle for autonomy
2009
Overview
Contrary to the widespread assumption that Belgium is a bilingual French/Dutch country, German is also an official language in Belgium. The German-speaking part of Belgium achieved its cultural autonomy in 1970, which made the approximately 73,000 German-speaking Belgians one of the best protected minorities in Europe. This achievement cannot be understood without reference to the Flemish emancipation and the transformation of the original conception of Belgium as a unitary nation, built on the foundation of shared values, into a federal nation with autonomous communities according to linguistic principles.
