!!!Deutscher Schulverein

Deutscher Schulverein (German School Association), founded in 1880 at 
the suggestion of E.  Pernerstorfer. Its objective was to establish 
and maintain schools in German in language border areas. It soon 
became an instrument of the German-Nationalist movement, but split 
into several groups after 1886 ("Schulverein Suedmark" at Graz 1889 
for lower Styria, "Bund der Deutschen" in Lower Austria 1903). After 
World War I these associations enjoyed great popularity, maintained 
contacts with similar organisations in Germany and unified with them 
after 1938. Their successor organisations after 1945 were never of any 
importance.
