A new state of government-legal system of Czechoslovak Republic after the year 1918 allowed founding of German national councils and new parties in the Slovak territory. 'Oberungarischer Volksrat der Deutschungarn' was founded in Kezmarok and 'Deutscher Volksrat' in Bratislava. The 'Zipserdeutsche Partei' (Spis German Party) was also founded on the 22nd of March 1920. Karl Bruckner became its first chairman and was superseded by Andor Nitch. The most important function of this party was to take care of political, cultural and economical interests of Germans living in Spis. 'Zipserdeutsche Partei' was a branch of Hungarian parties during its existence - initially as a part of 'Orszagos Keresztenyiszocialista Part' and later 'Magyar Nemzeti Part'.

The study deals with the nationalist activities of the Spiš inhabitants after the establishment of Czechoslovakia. The end of the First World War and the destruction of Hungary directly stimulated nationalist activities of the Slovak population in all its regions, even in the Spiš region. The nature and dimension of these activities in Spiš region, was determined by its multi-ethnicity. Therefore, members of various nationalities - Slovak, German, Hungarian and Ruthenian were mobilized in Spiš. In the observed period, nationalist manifestations were mainly related to the operation of national councils of these nationalities. The Hungarian National Council, the German National Council of and East Slovak Council were supported by the Hungarian government, which at that time ruled over the territory. On the contrary, the Slovak National Council was on the defensive. After the occupation of Spiš by Czechoslovak army in December 1918, the situation turned. Pro-Hungarian oriented councils were either cancelled or got to the defensive and the Slovak National Council was encouraged by the Czechoslovak government. During the year 1919 there was a different manifestation for Czechoslovakia and against it, what will be addressed to this paper, too.
