THE GERMAN EAST IN OLD PICTURES Rated: Suitable for all ages SYNOPSIS: A unique cinematic journey takes us to Masuria, Upper Silesia, Pomerania, East Brandenburg, Bessarabia, East Prussia, and the Sudetenland. These former German eastern territories now belong to Poland, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Russia, and Moldova. In previously unseen film footage from the 1920s and 30s, the culture and traditions of these regions come alive once more. For centuries, Germans shaped the landscape, the work, and cultural life, building villages and castles, churches and palaces. Seven hundred years ago, the Teutonic Knights arrived to Christianize the land. Their proud commanderies stand as silent witnesses to this long-gone era. However, the Second World War forever altered the landscape. Millions fled westward. Many houses were destroyed, and art treasures and monuments were irretrievably lost. The film footage documents a piece of unforgettable German heritage in the East and simultaneously bears witness to the turbulent history of Eastern Europe. 700 years ago, the Teutonic Knights arrived to Christianize the land. Their proud commanderies stand as silent witnesses to this long-gone era. #Documentary #Docu Become a Tempora member and enjoy exclusive benefits:    / @temporatv   COPYRIGHT: The license to publish this film on YouTube has been properly acquired.
