Lecture & discussion
„Der Hahn kräht überall genauso.“ Experiences from South Bohemia with the upheavals in agriculture in 1950/60 and 1989/90 up to the present day
Sunday, September 11, 2022, 5:00 p.m.
Kulturquartier Mönchenkloster in Jüterbog
(in German language)
Lecture with pictures by Dr. Alena Wagnerová (Brno-Saarbrücken) & Dr. Iris Berndt (Potsdam) and discussion
It was the resolution of the Information Bureau of the Communist Parties of June 23, 1948, which declared the collectivization of agriculture, following the Soviet model of collective farms, to be the obligatory line of march for all countries of the Eastern Bloc. For the traditional forms of life and work in the countryside, this decision from above meant a serious break; especially since the emerging tendencies to develop cooperatives from below were thus interrupted.
In 2014, a project lasting several years was completed in Zbudovská Blata in southern Bohemia, in which people from eight villages in the region shared their experiences. In 2021/22, the publicist Dr. Alena Wagnerová, who was actively involved in this project, was able to translate the most important Czech-language texts into German. Together with the historian and author Dr. Iris Berndt, she also explored the Niederer Fläming region in 2021/2022. Again and again they came across similarities and small differences in the processes in Czechoslovakia and Germany – the comparison was enlightening and this is what they now want to present in Jüterbog.

Theme year „Lebenskunst – Kulturland Brandenburg 2022“
Zur Alten Schmiede
Saturday, September 24, 2022, 2:00 p.m.
Atelierhaus Schloss Wiepersdorf & Zur Alten Schmiede
Until its closure a few years ago, the restaurant "Zur Alten Schmiede" was an important meeting place between the villagers of Wiepersdorf and the guests of the castle. Run by local resident Elfriede Donath, who had worked at Schloss Wiepersdorf for many years, countless evenings were spent here celebrating and telling stories.
After an exhibition by the group K11 in the studio house of Schloss Wiepersdorf, the tradition of mutual solidarity will be revived for one day in the restaurant "Zur Alten Schmiede" with a cultural and culinary program. The writer Nellja Veremej reads texts written during her stay in Wiepersdorf. Nezaket Ekici shows the documentary of her carriage ride performance "Die Nähe der Ferne" about the long-distance relationship of Bettina and Achim von Arnim.
