“Ełk - a History Driven by Trains” - Exhibition Scenario
“Ełk - a history driven by trains” - Exhibition Scenario Date: June - October 2019 Historical Museum in Ełk, ul. Wąski Tor 1 1. “Long Middle Ages” The settlement, out of which Ełk developed, was founded in 1425 near a guardhouse built around 1398 - later to become a castle. The inhabitants lived according to the rhythm of the changing seasons. People of the Middle Ages were dependent on nature. Existence was conditioned by favourable (or not) natural factors such as good harvest or famine, floods, fires, and severe winters. People lived in constant fear of potential epidemics or diseases resulting from malnutrition or poor hygiene. No machines existed to improve tillage. The economy depended on the strength of human and animal muscles. Faith in miracles and supernatural powers was widespread. The end of the Middle Ages is traditionally marked in the second half of the 15th century. The events that would give rise to a new era included the invention of printing in 1452 and the fall of Constantinople in 1453. However, did these factors influence the life of the inhabitants of Ełk and Prussia (in which the town was located at the time)? People kept using the same tools and animals in farming. The population was constantly at risk of hunger and diseases, about which almost nothing was known and for which practically no medicines existed. Historic turning points, such as the invention of printing, only impacted the lives of the few elite of society in those times. The average person lived the same way in the year 1400 as in 1700.

East Prussia ‘14
Designer Notes: East Prussia ‘14 In the middle of August 1914, the world's attention was focused directly on the Western Front where German armies were sweeping into Belgium and France. On the Eastern Front however, the Russians were on the offensive into East Prussia, an important agricultural region of the Prussian homeland, and the gateway to Berlin. The Russians planned a two pronged invasion into East Prussia: one army approaching from the Niemen River to the east and one army approaching from the Narew River to the south, both aimed at outflanking German forces located therein, and the eventual capture of the strategic city of Königsberg. In their way stood a single German army, two resolute commanders, and a well developed rail network. By the time the campaign was over both Russian armies would be almost completely destroyed and thrown out of East Prussia and the campaign itself would go on to become one of the most studied and celebrated victories in warfare.

1 the Ruin of an Empire
c01.qxd 7/16/03 1:09 PM Page 28 1 The Ruin of an Empire shrill whistle shattered the silence of the snowy afternoon as the Red Cross train slowly steamed into the sid- ing at Tarnopol. Weary soldiers, bundled against the freezing rain,A shuffled noiselessly along the crowded platform, heads bent low, eyes hollow and resigned. Amid the sea of disconsolate faces, J. P. Demidov, muffled in a thick astrakhan coat and hat, made his way across the siding, jumped into a waiting motorcar, and left the despair of the station in his wake. It was the first winter of the Great War. In the devastation of Russian-occupied Galicia, a rising tide of miseries threatened to over- take the Imperial Army. Four months earlier, poorly trained, unedu- cated peasants proudly wore their new uniforms as they marched west, toward the advancing German and Austro-Hungarian armies under the late summer sun; for many, the clean leather boots had been the first pair of decent shoes they owned. But the four months could have been four years for the changes they wrought. Uniforms were ragged, mud- died, stained with food, sweat, urine, and their comrades’ blood, and the new boots—so impressive in the bright August sunshine—revealed their shabby manufacture as the Imperial Army waded through the marshes of Poland and the Danube. Disease and dejection hung like specters over these men, slowly replacing the patriotic ideals and short conflict promised in the far-off days of summer. Demidov’s motorcar snaked through the streets of Tarnopol, clogged with refugees shuffling through the slush among the ruins of bombed buildings as they dodged piles of fallen brick and burned 28 c01.qxd 7/16/03 1:09 PM Page 29 THE RUIN OF AN EMPIRE 29 timbers.

There were many factors that led up to the start of World War I in Europe: a lot of these factors were rooted in the deep history of the old powers of Europe (including Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Britain) but the real causes of World War I included politics, secret alliances, imperialism, and nationalistic pride. However, there was one single event, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, which started a chain of events leading to war.
