Abstract	This article explores how the early medieval past was used to justify Germanic political and cultural hegemony across East Central Europe during the first half of the 20th century. It highlights the ways in which medieval historians and archaeologists contributed to, and were influenced by, the program of “Ostforschung” (Eastern Research). A close reading of the work of two prominent German archaeologists during the interwar and National Socialist periods suggests that their conception of the early medieval eastern Alps was not only influenced by national chauvinism, but also reveals striking parallels with Western imperial ideologies typical of overseas colonial contexts.Cet article étudie la manière dont le début du passé médiéval a été utilisé pour justifier l’hégémonie politique et culturelle germanique à travers l’Europe centrale de l’Est durant la première moitié du 20$^{ème}$ siècle. Il met en exergue les modes selon lesquels les historiens et archéologues médiévistes ont contribué au, et ont été influencés par le programme de « l’Ostforschung » (Recherche sur l’Est). Une lecture approfondie des travaux de deux archéologues allemands éminents durant les périodes de l’entre-deux-guerres et national-socialiste, suggère que leur conception des Alpes orientales médiévales précoces était non seulement influencée par le chauvinisme national, mais révèle également des parallèles remarquables avec les idéologies impériales occidentales typiques des contextes coloniaux étrangers.Este artículo explora cómo la pasada alta edad media fue utilizada para justificar la hegemonía política y cultural germánica en la Europa Centro-Oriental durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Destaca las formas en las que los historiadores y los arqueólogos medievales contribuyeron a, y estuvieron influidos por, el programa de “Ostforschung” (Investigación del Este). Una lectura profunda del trabajo de dos arqueólogos alemanes prominentes durante los periodos de entreguerras y del Nacionalsocialismo sugiere que su concepción de los Alpes orientales en la alta edad media no sólo estuvo influida por el chovinismo nacional, sino que revela también paralelismos sorprendentes con las ideologías imperiales occidentales típicas de contextos coloniales de ultramar.
