Abstract
In January 2009, the German-speaking community in Belgium celebrated 25 years of federate legislative souvereignty and government. This article presents in a systematic and comparative fashion the ways in which the "Federal State German-speaking Community" contextualises internationally. Legally and from a political science point of view the "German-speaking Community" is both federal state and minority within the Belgian federal system and a federate microstate, when viewed through practical politics. These three characteristics constitute the structual framework of this article which begins with a short historical introduction into the political history of the German-speaking community and its territory. It concludes with some statements regarding its possible future developments.
