This case study focuses on the functioning of German immigrant organisations in Antwerp and Rotterdam in the early twentieth century. It is often assumed that patriotism is central to a good understanding of German associational life abroad. Based on case studies of the sailors' homes and German schools in Antwerp and Rotterdam, I argue that a focus on opportunity structures may provide a better understanding of associational life than an emphasis on its supposed patriotic character. The strongly differing opportunity structures, then, can be explained by both looking at the type of organisation and the political environment in the country of settlement
