Dragotin Dežman, one of the most educated Slovenians of the second half of the 19. Century was at first a bilingual Slovenian-German poet and a fierce supporter of Slovenians and Slavs. After the faithful defection into the German language and cultural-political camp in 1861 - between 1971 and 1974 he was also mayor of Ljubljana - he became one of the most hated intellectuals in Slovenian lands. In this piece we limit ourselves to Dežman's literary creativity and his image in Slovenian literary history after 1861, as it is shown in literary satire and caricature and statements made by Slovenian literary creators. Dežman'is subjected to fierce attacks in literary representations and statements by literary creators. These attacks were frequently also degrading to his undisputed achievements in various expert areas.
