Lecture & Science
On the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the manor house researcher Christian Biskup sheds light on the situation on the estates of Rügen on the basis of memoirs.
On July 12, the Bergen City Museum invites you to a lecture by manor house researcher Christian Biskup. On the occasion of the commemoration of the end of the Second World War 80 years ago, he will take a look at the situation and circumstances on the estates of Island of Rügen. "The end of the war was an enormous turning point for the landlords and workers. Many suspected that not only the thousand-year Reich, but also their personal ties to house and farm, island and homeland would come to an abrupt end. All of the contemporary witnesses I was able to interview have vivid and impressive memories of their experiences around May 1945," says Christian Biskup, who analyzed these memories for the lecture. From the beginning of manorial rule and the laying down of the peasants, he tries to trace the arc up to the loss of importance of the nobility and the end of the war with the subsequent land reform. Particular attention is paid to the fate of the Putzier (Dumsevitz), Klöckner (Klein Bandelvitz) and von Gagern (Frankenthal) families.
