Mecklenburg Memorial Days
Mecklenburg Memorial Days ( ZDB -ID 2632972-4 ) was a series of publications by the Mecklenburg Landsmannschaft , which was published in Hamburg from 1973 to 1980 and commemorated events and people from the history of Mecklenburg.
With the publication, the Landsmannschaft responded to the basic treaty concluded between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic on December 21, 1972 , with which it "deepened the division of Germany for an indefinite period of time and the right of the German people to national self-determination and unity in an indefinite state Moved away “ saw. The series of publications should keep the history of the closer homeland alive in the members of the association and cultivate the awareness “that Mecklenburg and its inhabitants have always been part of the great German fatherland, diverse and inextricably linked to it through the common fate, the common language and culture and the manifold ties from person to person ” , it said. "We will continue to oppose a falsification of our history by the historians of the GDR and try to prevent our youth from growing up in a false, ideologically one-sidedly shaped historical image."
A total of nine issues were published between 1973 and 1980. Initially, the plan was to publish two issues a year, but this was only held out in 1973 and 1974. From 1975 to 1978 a magazine was published annually. Episode 9/10, published in 1980, was exclusively dedicated to the Mecklenburg Culture Prize winners and contained short portraits of Friedrich Griese , Gustav Piehler , Friedrich Siems , Walter Lehmbecker , Georg Tessin , Gerhard Böhmer , Carl Friedrich Maaß , Otto Witte , Gerd Lüpke and Helmut de Voss .
The size of the individual booklets in DIN A5 format varied between eight and 22 pages. The authors of the contributions were Otto Witte and Gerhard Böhmer. The recipients of the booklets were the local associations of the Landsmannschaft. The booklets served the local association chairmen "as a means for structuring the content of their local association evenings."
