Its slogan, "Germany is our common mother earth," frames the territory as a family inheritance rather than a political line. Printed in 1920, the poster belongs to the German campaign to keep Upper Silesia before the plebiscite that the Treaty of Versailles required, held in March 1921 under Allied supervision. Such appeals were aimed at a population with both Polish and German speakers and strong local loyalties. The vote was divided, and in 1922 the region was partitioned between Germany and Poland, with the heavily industrial eastern part going to Poland.
