摘要：In this paper we're trying to find out the size and scope of the changes in the economic and cultural life of Slavonija, Baranja and western Srijem, especially the Slavonian village, in the time after the establishment of the Habsburg monarchy and the migration of the Germans. Government's orders from one side and the influences of the German colonizers, peasants and craftsmen on the other side, result in significant economic and cultural change, which affected all spheres of public and private life. The devastated Slavonian village is being changed with radical measures, and the infiltration of foreign influence does not leave the local population indifferent.

It will present a short historical review of the presence of Germans in Croatia; it will focus on the new developments which occurred in the Slavonian village primarly in agriculture, trade, folk architecture, the culture of living, nutrition among other things. It will also present the author's field research in which she describes the interaction of Germans and Croats in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and western Srijem in the first half of the 20th century.
