Zavičajna kuća is a non-profit foundation based in Sremski Karlovci, Serbia, dedicated to protecting the heritage of the Danube Swabians (Podunavske Švabe), the German minority in Vojvodina. It publishes FENSTER, a bilingual German/Serbian periodical on the minority's culture, history and coexistence. The magazine addresses the community's identity, historiographic and sociological research, reinterpretation of ideologically manipulated history, reconciliation, tolerance and good neighbourly relations, and aims to foster communication within the minority and with wider society. The foundation is funded from donations and grant competitions, and the publication schedule has been constrained by limited finances. The magazine was first issued in 2003, and 19 issues had been published by the time of the website's content.
