rating

The writer and ethnologist Walther Konschitzky said in 2012: “In their entirety, Erich Lammert's studies on the history and cultural history of the Banat Germans give a complex, vivid and haunted picture of the 'Universum Village' in its contemporary form and historical development. The author devoted himself to very different areas of rural culture - linguistic research, ethnology, local and medical history - and in all of them he proves to be not only a profound expert on his German compatriots; His interethnic interest also opens up a largely new way of looking at and evaluating regional similarities and differences in the living environment of the ethnic groups in this multilingual and multi-confessional area in the Banat in the 1970s.
