Résumé :
latvia and estonia are now experiencing a situation, which is pointed out as very specific in Europe. Indeed, their populations are multi-ethnic due to their history. And a significant part of their national minorities does not benefit from citizenship. It explains the fact that many studies and research papers concern the Russian minorities in these countries. On the contrary, just a few works are initiated to study their german minorities, mainly because of the very small number of them, who are left. Still, we have to bare in mind that the Baltic Germans stayed in the region for 700 years, from the end of the 12th century to WWII. As a consequence, they had undoubtedly a strong influence on its history. This phenomenon can be nowadays the subject of a simple sightseeing, and the fact of walking in the streets of the old towns of Riga and Tallinn makes discover a clear heritage from the Baltic german merchants from the Hanseatic League, for example. from the very first sight, it seems then that the legacy of the Baltic Germans is an element of definition for estonia and latvia, as an inherent part of their cultural patrimonies.
