Germans are a notable national minority in Poland, consisting of almost 150,000 people. German language is used in certain areas in Opole Voivodship, where most of the minority resides. A number of seats is guaranteed for representatives of the German minority in Polish parliament ( Sejm). The size of the minority increased briefly to over one million immediately following the end of World War II, when the territories of southern East Prussia, Lower Silesia and parts of Western Pomerania including Lubusz Land were transferred to Poland. Many Germans were expelled, but some remained. Recently some Germans acquired land and properties in the lands where they or their forefathers formerly lived and moved there.
