Measurements at five radio wavelengths between 2.8 and 21.1 cm (Buczilowski and Beck, 1987) with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope make M33 the best studied nearby galaxy in linear polarization so far. The polarized emission is concentrated to the northwestern quadrant of the galaxy. Almost no polarization is detectable around the 35 known supernova remnant candidates. The explosions may have disturbed the interstellar magnetic field on scale sizes smaller than our antenna beams.
