Ostpreußen - a journey from Gdansk through Masuria and Königsberg to the Curonian Spit.

In the far northeastern corner of the former German Empire lies a land whose name is almost forgotten today: East Prussia, a land sunk in history and yet unforgettable for many. At the end of World War II, the once easternmost province of Germany was divided: The south with Masuria and Warmia fell to Poland, while the north around the old capital Königsberg went to the Soviet Union. For nearly half a century, northern East Prussia disappeared behind the "Iron Curtain." Only through political upheavals has the Kaliningradskaja Oblast, as the region is called today, come a little closer to us again: Königsberg, the Pregolya lowlands, the Rominter Heide, Memel territory, the Curonian Spit. Further south, in Poland, lies Masuria, a landscape of longing with crystal-clear lakes, dark forests, and gentle hills. The photographer and author Roland Marske has been on countless journeys tracing lost time. He spoke with the people and found destruction and what had sunk, but also what had been painstakingly preserved and lovingly restored. And he became fascinated by the landscape of East Prussia. Few regions in Europe evoke so many moods, feelings, and sensations as this one. It is a landscape like from distant childhood memories. The unique multi-vision show is a heartfelt encounter with East Prussia that brings memories to life and awakens the desire to also get to know the present of the land.
