This paper addresses the image of the German language, which has been firmly established throughout the centuries in the Polish culture and verification of its image given on the grounds of a questionnaire among German language students at the University of Zielona Góra. Perceptions about stereotypes are inextricably linked with perception of their speakers. For this reason, the German language is viewed through the prism of the German speaker. A linguistic recognition of stereotype refers to the interdisciplinary character of this concept, so especially the history plays a major role in this description.
