Gender and ethnic stereotypes were studied as a component of a social stereotype that has modern national-cultural information. The concept of the gender stereotype was specified in the research. The most common typical views of German men about women are found according to the German sociological researches. The men’s vision of a woman in a modern society was analyzed. The most common stereotypes for the women in the German-speaking environment were identified. The German phraseological units were inventoried to verbalize the stereotype «stupid». The meaning-formative lexical items in the structure of the phraseological unit were discovered. Their semantic development was followed. This was reflected in the national-specific rethinking of the character, which was based on the internal form of the phraseological unit. The most common meaning-formative lexical items in the structure of phraseologisms were shown as ornithonyms, zoonyms, household items and artifacts. The component of phraseological meaning that had the greatest transformation in the diachronic section and contributed to the semantic development of the phraseological meaning was established. The transformation of the meaning of the phraseological unit was shown in the diachronic analysis of the meaning-formative lexical items. The semantic development of the phraseological unit was associated with the narrowing of the denotative component and the extension of the connotative component of the phraseological meaning. It is established that there is a gradual development of the connotative component of the meaning-formative lexical items, the expansion of the limits of rethinking of the image, placed in the internal form of phraseological significance. It provides the naming unit of the aspect of personality, the type of behavior and the moral principles. The extension of the connotative component was due to the assessment, which is a component of the connotation. All of the analyzed phraseological units was detected the deterioration of meaning.
