It makes no claim to historical, discursive, or literary completeness in any of the topics covered. It aims to inspire the imagination and the mind, offering a platform to the lesser-known stories, tales, and mysticisms of our homeland and other regions and cultures, and encouraging personal exploration. It's not the Bergisches Land Historical Society, which I also greatly admire; rather, it's simply about raising awareness of our decentralized environment. It's also about historical and linguistic distortions, mysterious places, and above all, the wondrous nature that underlies everything. It aims to bring joy, encourage reading between the lines, and, through preservation, contribute to a responsible understanding of history that is sometimes not explicitly promoted—because how can we appreciate nature and our homeland if we are disconnected from it, if future generations no longer have access to it? It is not itself interwoven with or identifiable by any concepts, beliefs, or ideologies. It is an individual and universal journey of discovery, one I would be happy to take you on, if you wish. At this point, I ask for a responsible and sustainable approach to nature, the places shown, and the age-old stories. Please share these and other stories with your loved ones, in keeping with tradition. It can raise more questions than it answers. But these spaces are precisely what we need to fill with our own thoughts and answers, in a world where such open spaces are becoming increasingly rare, as there seems to be a simple, readily available answer for everything at the click of a button. It enjoys a creative, interdisciplinary approach to exploration, grounded in literature and academic sources to offer grounded value, orientation, and inspiration that you can use to work, puzzle, and rediscover. For everything else, there's Chat GPT, family trees, the next expert or savior, or perhaps the Brockhaus encyclopedia on your bookshelf. _______________________________________________________________________ SUPPORT If you're interested in supporting Lost Local History, I would be delighted if you shared and promoted my content. I'd love to find some support with the video production: Please contact me at: [email protected] In the long term, Lost Local History also aims to provide a platform for expanding the network of cultural preservers and allies of all kinds, such as Low German speakers, folklore researchers, fairy folk, nature spirits, inner earth dwellers, and those who remember the past. Thank you. Yours, Nathalie for Lost Local History
