On April 3, 1938, roughly a month after the Anschluß (annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany) the Prater Stadium in Vienna hosted a football match between teams representing Austria and Germany. The Game, which ended with a 2-0 score to Austria, became an event that had a major role in shaping the national consciousness of the Austrian society. The aim of this article is to portray developments related to the above-mentioned sporting event considering its peculiar social and political conditions as well as to highlight the mechanism of instrumentalizing the match by the Nazi authorities. Against this backdrop, the author reveals how particular elements of the event were mythologized leading to its becoming a significant symbol of remembrance in Austria today. Therefore, special importance is attached in the text to the postwar interpretation of the match, which served as a tool to forge local identity and to culturally separate Austrians from Germans and Germany. Furthermore, the author of the article attempts to debunk the myths and legends that have built up around this particular sporting event.

The Mitropa-Cup football games were inaugurated in 1927 and the participants were some states of the former Habsburg monarchy – Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Italy and Yugoslavia. The article is an attempt to identify the most important activities undertaken in Central Europe, inspired mainly by Austria, in order to create a Mitteleuropa-concept using the most popular sports discipline in the region – football. Football, considered to be nonpolitical, helped to develop an area in which diplomatic activities directed towards the realization of political interests and the building of the Central European community were possible. The paper also endeavors to indicate how the Mitropa-Cup served – besides strictly political actions – the purpose of coping with post-Habsburg reality in the sport and social area in the former states of the monarchy.

The German Democratic republic, despite limited economic and demographic opportunities, achieved an incredible success in sports, becoming in the second half of the 20th century a real sports superpower. Competition at the international level, especially the Olympic Games were arenas for the presentation of the country’s supremacy in sport, on account of which it began to be called "Sportwunderland". The article attempts to identify the most important components of the sport success of the GDR - institutional structures and implementation of the achievements of science in sport, together with the pathological use of prohibited pharmacological assistance, as well as methods of acquiring and selecting outstanding sportspersons. In addition, the article provides an analysis of the situation of East German sport after the unification of Germany and discusses ways of dealing with the dark sides of its past.

The aim of the article is an attempt to present football relations between the most important, best and most influential teams in Berlin - Hertha BSC Berlin and 1. FC Union Berlin. The two teams are diametrically different from each other - they come from the western and eastern part of the city, have different history, social background and philosophy and strategy of the club. The history of both clubs provides a background for showing the relations between the Berlin football fans. The analysis - covering the period since the 1970s, i.e. the period of constructing an organised supporter movement - has shown that the mutual relations between the supporters can be treated as a symbolic instance of the complicated relations between the citizens of East and West (both Berlin and the whole Germany). The situation in Berlin's supporter community reflects the history of the city's growing together and the mutual relations between its eastern and western part and its inhabitants. Football has been treated as a kind of medium through which the convictions of large social groups are most freely expressed, reflecting the sympathy and antipathy of the city's inhabitants. A review of the narrative literature of the subject was carried out and the methodology of political sciences was used.

Sport played a special role in the political system of the GDR and was used to achieve political goals, especially in terms of diplomacy. The aim of the article is to show examples of the instrumentalization of sport in the GDR in the context of competition within the Eastern Bloc countries. In the light of the attitude of East German authorities to sport competition and the so-called sporting policythe study points to examples of competition between athletes from the GDR and the Soviet Union and other satellite states. The premise of the article is to point to the reactions of the GDR authorities to the intra-system rivalry of athletes, as well as its political foundations and attempts at instrumentalization. Politically declared friendship and close political cooperation usually did not reflect real competition, which – especially in sport and contrary to propaganda slogans – was usually extremely ruthless and uncompromising. The text is based on the research of thematic German literature and supported by analysis and interpretation of published source materials and archival research.

The text presents an attempt to depict the reception of the exchange of letters between the Polish and German episcopacy in 1965, by the GDR government. It points out the direct reactions undertaken by the party and state elites in order to decrease the importance and the international aspect of the clergy initiative. The propaganda actions included a wide range of instruments and tools available for the state government, primarily the media. It resulted in marginal interest in this topic among the GDR society and creation of the reception of the event desired by the government
