Polish Deception of Hans Lipinsky-Gottersdorf Hans Lipinsky-Gottersdorf (1920–1991), a wrongly forgotten writer from Silesia, never aroused major interest in the country or abroad. Also in Poland, he is not a commonly known author. The article discusses the modest Polish reception of the writer, starting from 1960s until present. At the beginning, it consisted of mere mentions in the press; it was only later that first sparse translations of his prose appeared together with separate articles devoted to the writer, as well as scientific studies. So far, the only monograph of Lipinsky-Gottersdorf has been written by a Polish Germanist in the German language, and published in Germany.
