The aim of this paper is to examine and describe the everyday traces of German in the Polish press, published in Przemyśl in the former Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. Galicia as a part of Austria-Hungary enjoyed, under Polish leadership, the complete autonomy. The influence of the German culture was no more as strong as in the pre-autonomous period but it was still present. It came over in the form of foreign words, borrowings and more or less successful translation loans, which, although constructed of native lexemes of Polish, clearly show their German origin. The paper tries to show how much of the German influence there was in the then official Polish pres and the way it was assimilated as well.
