Abstract: The article analyzes the coverage of the Zabern affair (1913–1914) in selected Polish newspapers published in Prussian partition and in Upper Silesia. The affair was a crisis of domestic policy in the German Empire shortly before the outbreak of World War I. The portrayal of the events and the main protagonists of the Zabern affair, including Emperor Wilhelm II, in Polish press was also examined. The article discusses the parallels between the published accounts of the Zabern affair and the fate of Poles living in Prussian partition. Attempts were also made to identify cultural factors and stereotypes that could have influenced the tone of press articles.
