Church between village and state

 

Church cemeteries in the Oderbruch - exhibition "Faith and Power" - salon talk - religiosity in pictures - open workshop offer

In the Oderbruch region, the majority of cemeteries are still in the care of the church.
A summer school with students from the University for Sustainable Development in Eberswalde (HNE) has investigated what makes cemeteries today places of remembrance and mourning and landscape elements with special ecological characteristics.

The results are presented in the gallery. A discussion in the Yellow Salon with people who look after the cemeteries picks up on these threads.

On the upper floor of the castle, we are opening the exhibition "Faith and Power" about the relationship between church and state in the Oderbruch region. Freedom of faith guaranteed by the king, the confessing church under National Socialism, the church in the GDR - the installation sheds light on a complex topic.

In the picture salon we are showing works by the painter Dorothée Irene Müller, who has explored various places of religious tradition in the Oderbruch.
