The contribution focuses on the German-Slovenian relations in Ljubljana as viewed by the journalist, editor, writer and satirist Jakob Alešovec (1842-1901), torn since childhood between SLovenianhood and Germandom. At the end of the 1860s, Alešovec not only edited the Slovenian satirical gazette Brencelj but also the German newspaper for homeland interests, Triglav (1868-1870). The contribution analyses and comments on his writings in Triglav, especially in the feuilleton featuring Alešovec's feuilletonist "chatter". The contribution describes Alešovec stepping into the foreground with his Triglav column "Below the line", not only by establishing himself as a critical observer but also by revealing his subjective views of the then Ljubljana society and the time in which he lived.
