Abstract
This article describes the development of the relationship between the German and the Polish population in Siegfried Lenz novel Heimatmuseum. Historically speaking, the novel begins in the Wilhelmene Era in Masuria and ends after World War II in Western Germany. With the help of the theoretical framework of Comparative Imagology and the different auto-images and hetero-images proposed by the German protagonists, we point out how the Polish minority is seen from a mainly German perspective and how the German majority sees itself in contrast with this minority. Through several historical events, the relationship between the Polish and the German population is described in the novel. Above all, the flight and expulsion of the Germans led to a significant change in this relationship.
