Staatlich-Nationale Erinnerungskultur in Griechisch-Thrakien
Staatlich-nationale Erinnerungskultur in Griechisch-Thrakien CAY LIENAU (Münster) Einleitung Erinnerungskultur wird von mir als formaler Oberbegriff verstanden für alle denkbaren Formen der bewussten Erinnerung bzw. des bewussten Erinnerns und Nichterinnerns an historische Ereignisse, Persönlichkeiten und Prozesse.1 Auf solche Formen des Erinnerns und Nichterinnerns – auch das Ausblenden von Personen und historischen Ereignissen gehört zur Erinnerungskultur – soll am Beispiel von Griechisch-Thrakien (= Westthrakien) eingegangen werden. In diesem ethnisch und religiös gemischten Gebiet werden spezifische Züge staatlich-nationaler Erinnerungskultur besonders deutlich. Die Ausführungen beziehen sich v.a. auf die öffentliche (staatlich-nationale und kommunale) Erinnerungskultur, während auf die private Erinnerungskultur und die Traditionspflege der verschiedenen Volks- und Religionsgruppen nur am Rande eingegangen wird. Behandelt werden soll das Thema an Beispielen von • Orts- und Straßennamen • Denkmälern • Baudenkmälern und Museen • der Darstellung des Raumes und seiner Geschichte in offiziellen Publi- kationen. Zur Geographie und Geschichte Griechisch-Thrakiens Im äußersten Nordosten Griechenlands gelegen, ist Griechisch-Thrakien Teil der historischen Region Thrakien, zu der große Teile des östlichen und südli- chen Bulgarien und die europäische Türkei (= Ostthrakien) gehören.2 Im Westen bildet der Nestos (bulg. Mesta) die alte Grenze zu Makedoni- en, im Osten der Evros (bulg. Maritza) zur Türkei, im Norden der Haupt- 1 Vgl. dazu Cornelißen 2003, S. 555. 2 zur Geographie vgl. Schultze 1937. 358 Cay Lienau kamm der Rhodopen zu Bulgarien. Die in ihrem zentralen Teil über 2000 m hohen, nach Osten auf unter 1300 m Höhe abfallenden Rhodopen bilden das Rückgrat der Region. Eiserner Vorhang und auf griechischer Seite die Ein- richtung einer Sperrzone, die nur mit Sondergenehmigung des Militärs betre- ten werden konnte und erst 1996 aufgehoben wurde, machten die Rhodopen zu einem undurchlässigen, schwer zugänglichen Gebiet und isolierten deren Bevölkerung. -

Reproduction is authorized provided the source is acknowledged. 1 This document is based on the International Organization for Migration (IOM) assessment conducted within the framework of the “Fostering health provision for migrants, the Roma, and other vulnerable groups” (Equi-Health) project.

The Assessment Report was drafted under the IOM MHD Brussels Regional Office guidance by Milen Petrov from IOM MHD Sofia, and edited and revised by Mariya Samuilova. -
BULGARIA 2020 RODOPI MOUNTAINS CYCLE TOUR Semi-Guided - 8 Days/7 Nights
BULGARIA 2020 RODOPI MOUNTAINS CYCLE TOUR Semi-Guided - 8 Days/7 Nights The Rodopi Mountains are located in the oldest part of the Balkans with some of the loveliest coniferous forests in the country. The landscape is gentle and rolling, with gorges intermingling with river basins and valleys. Here one can also find 70% of the world minerals, as well as some 600 caves. Flora and fauna contain species that have become extinct in other European countries. Locals live a traditional way of life: wooden carts pulled by horses, donkeys or cows; nomadic gypsies picking mushrooms and berries in the woods; local Muslim inhabitants growing tobacco and potatoes; and herds of sheep and goats descending the mountain at day’s end. You will cycle through villages with typical Rodopean architecture where speech, songs and customs of the local people create the special identity of the region. You have the chance to visit Bachkovo Monastery, the second largest in Bulgaria; see the Miraculous bridges, two unique natural rock bridges about 40 m. high; Velingrad – the largest Bulgarian spa resort famous for its healing hot mineral water. ITINERARY Day 1. Arrive at Sofia or Plovdiv Airport and transfer to your hotel in Sofia. Day 2. Sofia– Belmeken Dam – Velingrad spa town Transfer to the cycling start a few kilometers before the village of Sestrimo. Cycle up to the Belmeken dam (2000 m) through old coniferous woods. In the afternoon the road passes the Iundola's mountain meadows before descending to the spa town of Velingrad, where you stay overnight in a hotel with mineral water swimming pool. -

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.
