The Position of the German Language in the World focuses on the global position of German and the factors which work towards sustaining its use and utility for international communication. From the perspective of the global language constellation, the detailed data analysis of this substantial research project depicts German as an example of a second-rank language. The book also provides a model for analysis and description of international languages other than English. It offers a framework for strengthening the position of languages such as Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Spanish and others and for countering exaggerated claims about the global monopoly position of English. This comprehensive handbook of the state of the German language in the world was originally published in 2015
In February 2008 German newspapers reported on an agreement reached between the German and the Polish governments on the controversial German plans to erect a ‘Visible Sign against Flight and Expulsion’ (‘Sichtbares Zeichen gegen Flucht und Vertreibung’).1 The new Polish government under Donald Tusk will not be participating in this venture but did not preclude the involvement of Polish historians. For its part, the German government promised to take the deportation of Polish people into consideration. This agreement ended a controversial debate on how (and where) to commemorate the flight and expulsion of the German population from those parts of Germany which were handed over to Poland and the (former) Soviet Union after 1945 (East Prussia, Silesia, parts of Pomerania, and East Brandenburg), and of ethnic Germans from their areas of settlement in the former Czechoslovakia, in Hungary, Romania, and the former Yugoslavia.

The expellees bitterly lamented their enforced exile, and many Christians within this population shared Jokiel's sentiments concerning the connection between faith and homeland. Those who settled in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) developed an elaborate network of overlapping subcultures dedicated to preserving their memories of lost homelands and advocating for their right to return there. In the process, these lands came to acquire a distinctly religious aura, holy places that were integral to their spiritual well-being.

The former eastern territories of Germany (German: ehemalige deutsche Ostgebiete) refer to those territories east of the current eastern border of Germany, i.e. the Oder–Neisse line, which historically had been considered German and which were annexed by Poland and the Soviet Union after World War II.
