Spring 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In Klessin, a neighbourhood of Podelzig in the district of Märkisch-Oderland, this occasion will be marked with various commemorative events.
The memory of this time is kept alive today by the "Klessin Castle Theatre of War" memorial, which was opened in 2023. On 22 March 2025, a central commemorative event was held in Klessin, where the commemorative vector of the "Liebration Route Europe" was inaugurated by Eike Schwarzbach (Heimatverein), Robert Nitz (Mayor of the town of Seelow) and Dirk Röder.
In addition, an association continues to campaign for the recovery and dignified burial of fallen soldiers.
The memorial events in Klessin and the surrounding area not only commemorate the victims of the battles, but also serve as a reminder to come to terms with history. Further information can be found on the memorial website "Klessin Castle as a theatre of war" to find.
