A quarterly edition journal covering Silesia, Lower and Upper Silesia as well as Sudeten Silesia (also known as Austrian Silesia). It discusses Culture, Knowledge, and People of these areas. It is the main publication of "Freunde und Förderer der Stiftung Kulturwerk Schlesien." (Friends ans Supporters of the Foundation of Silesian Culture.) It is printed by Nürnberger Presse, Nürnberg, Germany. ISSN 0036-6153. I have seen these in Berkeley, California and Munich, Germany. Copies can be had on the web and eBay.
