    MEDIA RELEASE INTERNATIONAL LAUNCH EVENT OF THE LIBERATION ROUTE EUROPE HIKING TRAILS A unique international trail initiative to keep the memory of WWII alive Brussels, 15 July 2021 – The LRE Foundation is happy to announce the next evolution of the Liberation Route Europe, a certified Council of Europe Cultural Route connecting places and people that mark Europe’s liberation from occupation during World War II. The launch event will take place on 22 July at 3 pm CEST when the Foundation will present the brand new European-wide system of hiking trails along the Liberation Route Europe. Developed in collaboration with hiking associations across Europe, the new hiking trails link museums, memorials, cemeteries and historical sites along the Allied Forces’ advance in the last phase of WWII and aim to stretch for 10.000 km. The hiking experience is accompanied by the new Liberation Route Europe website and travel planner that allows the public to read and listen to many stories about WWII and plan their journey along the hiking trails. Rémi Praud, Managing Director of the LRE Foundation: “We are excited to launch this new system of hiking trails connecting regions, sites and historical places across Europe. These trails are a new meaningful, and sustainable way to experience the Liberation Route Europe. This is only the beginning. We are excited to expand to new regions and countries in the upcoming years.” On the morning of 22 July, the LRE Foundation, in collaboration with the Best Defence Foundation, will escort seven U.S. veterans who served in Germany in 1945 for a visit with press to the German-Russian Museum Berlin- Karlshorst.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

  • The Mosse Art Research Project, a Cooperation with the German
    AiA Art News-service German researchers trace Jewish newspaper mogul’s vast Nazi-looted art collection The Mosse Art Research Project, a cooperation with the German government, identifies eight works and launches online database CATHERINE HICKLEY 8th May 2018 10:00 GMT August Gaul, Lying Lion by (1903) was returned to the heirs of Felicia Lachmann-Mosse in 2015. It will go on show in the new James Simon Gallery, the entrance building for Museum Island currently under construction.© SPK / ART+COM, 2017 A ground-breaking research project initiated last year by the German government, museums, research institutes in cooperation with the heirs of a Jewish media mogul has traced eight works confiscated by the Nazis and launched an online database to help find more. Thousands of paintings, books, sculptures and antiques were seized from Rudolf Mosse, who was one of the richest men in Berlin at the end of the 19th century. The Mosse Art Research Initiative, which was announced in March 2017, has a budget of €500,000 funded by the heirs and the German government’s Lost Art Foundation and is led by Meike Hoffmann, an art historian at Berlin’s Free University. It is the first such cooperative research project between the heirs of a Jewish collector robbed by the Nazis and the German government. The eight works the project has so far traced include a painting by Emil Jakob Schindler at Vienna’s Belvedere and a work by Jozef Israëls at the Tel Aviv Museum in Israel. A member of the Mosse Art Research Project team identified a painting of skaters called Winter by Carl Melchers at the Arkell Museum in Canajoharie, New York, when museum staff posted it on Facebook before the Christmas holidays, Hoffmann says.

  • Festakt Zur Amtsübergabe Im Alliiertenmuseum
    Pressemitteilung Berlin, den 8. Juli 2014 Tempelhof Central Airport. The American Story Special Exhibition at the Allied Museum, July 9, 2014 to April 19, 2015 The new special exhibition at the Allied Museum, Tempelhof Central Airport. The American Story, will for the first time present the American era at the former Berlin central airport. The exhibition spans the entire era of the American presence at Tempelhof, from the turn-over of the airport to the Americans in July 1945, by the Soviet troops who had conquered it, to its transfer to the Berlin Airport Company in 1993. As the exhibition clearly shows, Tempelhof Airport is a significant place of remembrance of the Cold War. The focus is on the dual function of the airport: For nearly fifty years, Tempelhof was both an American air base and a commercial airport. The “home of the Airlift” was used by the Western powers as a reconnaissance outpost and as a protective shield during the Cold War. The military mission of the U.S. Air Force was to guarantee air traffic to and from West Berlin both logistically and technically, and with all necessary protective, monitoring and maintenance measures. The exhibition shows how the Allies controlled aviation security, and how Tempelhof Airport was used to carry out espionage and electronic reconnaissance flights. Another exhibition space is dedicated to the Berlin Airlift at the time of the Soviet blockade of 1948/49. Every few minutes, an airplane loaded with vital supplies for Berlin’s population landed at Tempelhof. Less well known is the fact that the airport was the “Gateway to Freedom” for many refugees from East Germany; from here, they were flown to their new homes in West Germany.

  • The New Berlin
    The New Berlin A City Reunited May 29th - June 6th 2020 It’s hard to believe that it has been over 30 years since the Wall came down. A whole generation of Berliners has grown up not knowing the great symbolic divide that once separated their city. By now, it is safe to say that the great experiment of reunification that began on November 9, 1989 with the tearing down of the wall, is a complete success. Berlin is the vibrant capital of a united Germany that has become the economic powerhouse of Europe. At Discover Europe we are very fortunate that Brandenburg Gate one of our best tour guides, Matthias Kort, calls this city home. Matthias was born in, what was then, East Berlin. He will bring you a unique perspective and insight on the evolution of this historic city. You can find out more about Matthias and the city he loves at www.europe-berlin-guide.com.
