[edit] Czechization in Germany
In June 1905, the German language paper Bohemia of Prague reported Czechization in Saxony, Germany after a great influx of Czech workers had Czechified the town of Ostritz.[1] According to Saxon officials the reports were greatly exaggerated.[1] They conceded that while Czech speakers in Saxon communities were fewer than popularly supposed, they were nevertheless worth watching.[1]
