Description

Attempts have recently been made to newly explain the social processes of change against the backdrop of National Socialism with the analytical concept of national community. However, until now the subjects of the foreign German community and religion hardly attracted any attention within these discussions about national community. This article links these two aspects through the example of the church of Transylvanian Saxons in relation to the national community concept. This is the main focus of an investigation of communicative exclusion from others to create an imagined national community. Such an existing verbal exclusion at least in part explains why the Transylvanian Saxon majority approved the expulsion of its Jewish neighbours and was able to enrich itself with their former property without any moral concern.
