Abstract
In Germany and Switzerland the world-dominion of English was already predicted in the 19th
century. While today the impact of English on German has alarming consequences for many,
English lexemes often fill a welcome gap in German. The role German politicians play in this
field can at best be called ambivalent. Strongly negative is the part they played in the discussions
about the reform of the orthography of German. The paper concludes with remarks on the language
policy of the European Union for which a conscious policy of multilingualism is advocated.
