Eaton 1 Abstract Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 by Nicole M. Eaton Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair “Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948,” looks at the history of one city in both Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Russia, follow- ing the transformation of Königsberg from an East Prussian city into a Nazi German city, its destruction in the war, and its postwar rebirth as the Soviet Russian city of Kaliningrad. The city is peculiar in the history of Europe as a double exclave, first separated from Germany by the Polish Corridor, later separated from the mainland of Soviet Russia. The dissertation analyzes the ways in which each regime tried to transform the city and its inhabitants, fo- cusing on Nazi and Soviet attempts to reconfigure urban space (the physical and symbolic landscape of the city, its public areas, markets, streets, and buildings); refashion the body (through work, leisure, nutrition, and healthcare); and reconstitute the mind (through vari- ous forms of education and propaganda).

  • The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade
    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades. Aleksander Pluskowski is a lecturer in Medieval Archaeology at the University of Reading. Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00

    Witold Gieszczyński Human Migration on the Territory of the Former East Prussia after the Second World War Echa Przeszłości 12, 189-200 2011 ECHA PRZESZŁOŚCI XII, 2011 ISSN 1509-9873 Witold Gieszczyński HUMAN MIGRATION ON THE TERRITORY OF THE FORMER EAST PRUSSIA AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR Following the ratification of treaties to partition Poland dated 5 August 1772, the Royal Prussia with Warmia (Germ. Ermland), excluding Gdańsk and Toruń, and the Noteć District (Germ. Netzedistrikt) with Bydgoszcz were annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia1. Under a decree of 31 January 1773, the kingdom of Frederic II was expanded to include “West Prussia” (Germ. Westpreussen) as well as an administrative unit referred to as the “East Prussia province” (Germ. Provinz Ostpreussen), comprising Warmia, a region in pre-partition Poland, and Royal Prussia, a fiefdom of the Crown of Poland in 1525-16572. Beginning with the unification of Germany in 1871, East Prussia became a part of the Reich. In 1829, both provinces were formally united into a single “province of Prussia”, but the former division into two provinces of “West Prussia” and “East Prussia” was restored already in 18783. After the World War I, in an attempt to resolve the Polish-Ger­ man dispute over the territories in Warmia, Mazury and Powiśle, the Trea­ ty of Versailles of 28 June 1919 ordered a poll in Prussia. On 11 July 1920, the majority of the local constituents chose to be a part of East 1 S. Salmonowicz, Prusy. Dzieje państwa i społeczeństwa, Warszawa 2004, p. 212; Ch. Clark, Prusy.

    M ISCELLANEA Jerzy Przeracki THE WARMIAN PRINCE-BISHOP PAUL LEGENDORF (CA. 1410–1467). BETWEEN THE TEUTONIC ORDER AND POLAND Słowa kluczowe: Warmia, biskupstwo warmińskie, zakon krzyżacki, wojny Polski z Krzyżakami Schlüsselwörter: Ermland, Fürstbistum Ermland, Deutsche Orden, Polnisch-teutonische Kriege Keywords: Warmia, Prince-Bishopric of Warmia, Teutonic Order, Polish-Teutonic wars The behaviour of an individual is frequently determined by events over which that individual has limited power, with resulting choices appearing as con- troversial, especially if assessed after centuries. Paul Legendorf is an example of such an individual – his life and activities were conditioned by the difficult neigh- bourly relations with the Teutonic State in Prussia and the Polish Crown. The situ- ation of the son of the Chełmno Land, which was governed by the Teutonic Order when Paul Legendorf came to this world at the beginning of the 15th century, became much more complex in the middle of that century after a repudiation of allegiance followed by a declaration of war against the Order stated by Chełmno Land’s inhabitants. The position of Paul Legendorf became even more uncomfort- able when in the course of the Thirteen Years‘ War between the Teutonic State and the Polish Crown (1454–1466), more specifically in autumn 1458, he was appointed by the Pope to the position of a Warmian diocese administrator (curiously enough, he ineffectively tried to seize a position at his domestic Chełmno diocese). Ever since he came to Warmia in the summer of 1460 until the end of the Thirteen Years‘ War in autumn 1466, he was forced to maintain the balance between the conflicted parties.

    Lost Villages in Masuria: A Polish-German Project to Preserve Cemeteries Carried out by “Sadyba” (the Association for the Protection of Masuria’s Cultural Landscape), the Borussia Olsztyn Foundation, the University of Warmia and Masuria in Olsztyn, the Hein- rich Heine University Düsseldorf, and the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus Foundation. Co-financed by the German-Polish Youth Office. Cemeteries are often all that remains of Masurian villages destroyed at the end of the Second World War. Hidden in the deep forests of the Puszcza Piska in northeast Poland, they are often hardly distinguishable from other elevated patches of ground. In the course of the past 70 years, moss, bushes and trees have overgrown these old resting places. They cover up the last traces of the Masurian people, who lived in the former East Prussian, now Polish region for centuries, in the borderland between Germany and Poland. Local initiatives are trying to save what still remains of the cemeteries there. By documenting, cleaning up and signposting the cemeteries, they are making the region’s cultural heritage visible again. For two years now, a Polish-German cooperative effort of the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus Foundation and students of history and landscape archi- tecture at universities in Düsseldorf and Olsztyn has been doing research on the region. Participating in several work camps, each two weeks long, the students have uncovered the old burial places, documented the layout of the graveyards and researched the history of lost villages in both German and Polish archives. Among other goals, this cooperation is meant to support economic development and tourism in present-day Masuria.

  • Visible, Unrecognisable – Recognisable, Silenced? Representations of Evangelism in Permanent Museum Exhibits in Masuria
    Studia Religiologica 53 (4) 2020, s. 319–332 doi:10.4467/20844077SR.20.022.13040 www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Religiologica Visible, Unrecognisable – Recognisable, Silenced? Representations of Evangelism in Permanent Museum Exhibits in Masuria Magdalena Izabella Sacha https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3233-7818 Institute for Cultural Studies University of Gdańsk e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The article addresses representations of the Evangelical denomination at contemporary permanent museum exhibits in the region of Masuria, inhabited between 1525–1945 by a Protestant majority. Applying semiotic analysis, the author presents the outcomes of field studies in the local museums in Olsztyn, Mikołajki, Mrągowo, Ogródek, Szczytno, and in the open-air museum in Olsztynek. The principal research question is the issue of visibility and recognisability of Evangelism-related items at permanent exhibits. The author concludes that there are three types of omissions in the presenta- tion of the history of Masurian Evangelicals. The silencing of the Protestant past of Masuria results from the cultural colonisation that took place after 1945 and from identifying Evangelicalism with Germanness in the common consciousness of the currently dominant Polish Roman Catholic com- munity. Keywords: permanent exhibits, museology, Evangelism, Masuria, semiotic analysis Słowa kluczowe: wystawy stałe, muzealnictwo, ewangelicyzm, Mazury, analiza semiotyczna Preliminary recognitions In the 1990s, intrigued by the exclusion of the cultural artefacts of non-European people from the realm of “history” and “art,” Mieke Bal proposed a comprehensive model of reading the overt and covert narratives of a museum exhibition, based on a visual analysis of exhibits and the accompanying indexes (captions, museum labels) as a communicative, semantically-indexed whole.1 Placing the art of non-European 1 M.

  • Poland: from Changes of German Names up to Bilingual Geographical Names
    Poland: From changes of German names up to bilingual geographical names Jan A. WENDT* Poland after the Second World War changed its borders. The Soviet Union occupied eastern Poland with Vilnius and Lvov. Poland received the Opole Silesia, Lower Silesia, Western Pomerania and Gdańsk and the southern part of the former Eastern Prussia. The aim of the work is to show a two-stage process of changing geographical names and its consequences. After the Second World War, territories formerly belonging to Germany were inhabited by emigrants from Poland's Eastern Kresy. From a purely practical, but also political and historical point of view, the issue of replacing the German geographical names has appeared. German cities, such as Breslau, Danzig and Rastenburg, replaced Wroclaw, Gdansk and Kętrzyn. The changes of geographical names on the one hand restored the Polish character of the connected lands and, on the other, were intended to remove German names and histories from the symbolic sphere. The second stage of the change of geographical names occurred after the accession of Poland to the European Union (2004) together with the problem of local identity and the issue of observance of the rights of ethnic and national minorities. Bilingual Geographical Names are regulated by EU law and the Polish National and Ethnic Minority Law (2005). Due to legal conditions, implementing the rights of national and ethnic minorities, it became possible to introduce bilingual names. Currently bilingual names can be found in 51 Polish communes, and in 33 languages the local minorities have the status of auxiliary language. Most bilingual names can be found in German and Kashubian, but also in Belarusian, Lithuanian or Lemkos.
