  • “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.

MAY DIE GRENZEN DES „OVERKILL" Moral und Politik in der amerikanischen Nuklearrüstung von Truman zu Johnson Es ist mittlerweile zu einem wohlfeilen Gemeinplatz geworden, vom sogenannten „nuklearen Rüstungswettlauf" zu sprechen. Dabei kann man, unter Anlegung eines groben Rasters, mit Fug und Recht die These vertreten, daß es einen solchen Wett­ lauf gar nicht gibt, daß jedenfalls die Vereinigten Staaten seit zwanzig Jahren nicht mehr daran teilnehmen. Als grober Richtwert sollen hier, erstens, die Stückzahl der Atomwaffen und, zweitens, die Megatonnage dienen, also die Gesamtsprengkraft, ausgedrückt in Tonnen herkömmlichen Sprengstoffs (TNT).

  • Historical Aquaculture in Northern Europe
    Historical Aquaculture in Northern Europe Historical AQUACULTURE NORTHERN IN EUROPE How were fishponds introduced, farmed and spread in Scandinavia and the Baltic Region in early modern times? What was their economic, social and religious importance? Which fish species were significant and why? This book uncovers a long, now broken, tradition that barely left traces in the written record or physical environment. Its broad and multidisciplinary scope highlights the situation from medieval times until the late nineteenth century. Besides Scandinavia and the Baltic States, insights from England are also introduced. Several socio-cultural domains have been identified: late medieval monastic fishponds; late medieval aristocratic fish- ponds associated with castles and manors; seventeenth and Bonow, Olsén & Svanberg Bonow, eighteenth century ponds rectory ponds as well as urban ponds from the seventeenth century to the nineteenth century.
