In the German-Polish border region east of Berlin, the new tourism brand “Erinnerung verbindet” Oder-Warthe has been developed over the past four years.

The project, funded under the EU Interreg V-A Brandenburg-Lubuskie program, created, among other things, the foundations for establishing a multiperspective commemorative landscape along the Oder and Warta rivers.

180 sites represent fascinating regional history from three eras, including Fort Gorgast, Küstrin Fortress (Kostrzyn nad Odrą), the Oder-Warthe Fortress Arc Museum (MRU), Kulturbunker Strausberg, as well as other Cold War bunkers.

The cross-border tourism brand was developed by ECCOFORT on behalf of the city of Seelow. FORTE CULTURA and the Liberation Route Europe are included as European Cultural Routes in the new regional network for educational and remembrance tourism, youth encounters, and international understanding. www.erinnerung-verbindet.de
