REMEMBRANCE CONNECTS

The new network and the brand "Memory connects" Oder-Warthe The unique history of the German-Polish border region as a multi-perspective memory landscape to an international audience. In addition, three historic buildings have been renovated into new places for culture, remembrance and German-Polish encounters. 

The core of the new brand "Erinnerung verbindet" is the Oder-Warthe region as a multi-perspective area of remembrance. The history of the region and its people, represented in a variety of ways and from different perspectives, is intended to encourage dialogue and promote mutual understanding as a basis for a shared future. 

A strategy was developed for a multi-perspective remembrance landscape on the Oder and Warta rivers, represented by the new German-Polish tourism brand "Remembrance connects". 

To this end, a cross-border network of places of remembrance was founded in order to further develop and sustainably implement the project results. 12 network partners signed the co-operation agreement. 

Sponsors of memorial sites of the Oder-Warthe region and the Pomerania Region are invited to actively participate in the new tourism network. Please signal your interest to the Economic Development Department of the town of Seelow.
