German-Polish symposium for the presentation of research results in connection with the 900th anniversary of the foundation of the medieval diocese of Lubuskie.

The sub-project based at the Frankfurt City and Regional Museum is dedicated to art and architecture in the area of the historic diocese of Lubusz. German and Polish academics are currently working on recording and analysing the architectural and artistic monuments of the diocese, which once united the areas to the east and west of the middle Oder.

The research results will be presented on 12 and 13 June 2025 at a German-Polish symposium in Frankfurt's Marienkirche. They will be published in a bilingual anthology in autumn 2026. At the same time, a German-Polish travelling exhibition is being developed at Museum Viadrina. Its aim is to familiarise the inhabitants of the former diocese area with its eventful history and its multifaceted artistic monuments. From January 2026, the richly illustrated panel exhibition will be travelling through the historic diocese of Lubusz on both sides of the Oder and will be presented for one month at a time in 12 different German and Polish cities, including Frankfurt (Oder), Ośno Lubuskie, Kostrzyn nad Odrą, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Fürstenwalde, Zielona Góra, Lubusz, Międzyrzecz, Müncheberg, Neuzelle, Sulęcin and Witnica.

The conference is part of the project "900 Years of the Diocese of Lebus". This is a sub-project of the Project "Memory connects" and is funded by the European Union (INTERREG VI A Brandenburg-Poland 2021-2027).
