The paper deals with the comparison of selected topics from the political climate among students from both Germany and the Czech Republic. For this purpose, a survey of 108 Czech students from Charles University in Prague and 102 German students from the University Bremen was collected and the results were analysed with the statistical program SPSS 16.0. The research dealt with the claims rate of electoral and non-electoral participation, preferences on left-right scale and support a particular party, the level of discussions about politics and watching political news, patriotism and attitude to European integration, civil society and direct democracy. The aim of the research is also a measure of political alienation and disgust with politics, media and confidence in the steering capability of the government and not least the degree of knowledge about politics between Czech and German respondents. The paper tries to find out, how far these attitudes are influenced by nationality, gender and field of study of respondents. Most respondents from both countries have clearly defined links to the political system and its place in it, which showed such a high level of electoral participation, willingness to protest against unjust local decree, higher levels of knowledge about politics, relatively regular monitoring of political news and discussions on public issues with family, friends and less in the university. The participatory component of political culture is more apparent at the German respondents and for men. In some areas also showed dependence on the type of education, while respondents with a humanities education reported a higher degree of monitoring political news, debates about politics and also had more knowledge.
