Union of Poles in German is an organisation of the Polish minority in Germany, founded in 1922. The union initiated collaboration between other minorities, including Sorbs, Danes, Frisians and Lithuanians.

The symbol of the union was Rodło - stylized representation of the Vistula river. The reason for its adoption was that Polish national symbol of White Eagle was not allowed by Prussian law. The Nazi swastika provided a stylistic model for the Poles's own alternative symbol.

It was created by the graphic designer Janina Kłopocka, who made a rough sketch of "the emblem of the Vistula river, cradle of the Polish people and royal Kraków - the cradle of Polish culture". The white emblem was placed on a red background to emphasize the solidarity with the Polish nation and its soul.
