MASURIA

 

Seemingly endless avenues of oak, birch and elm trees, which are characteristic of old East Prussia.

Silent witnesses to contemporary history who had to witness the misery and injustice of passing refugee treks – but also Napoleon Bonaparte, confident of victory, marching with his army against Russia.

Castles, mansions and country squires' residences, whose condition makes the observer think, whose historical background (Steinort Castle, birthplace of the Lehndorff family, executed in the 20th July putsch) leaves everyone in awe.

Holy Linden Tree (called Little Peter's Basilica), which embodies the Christian, the divine, and the Wolf's Lair, which gave shelter to the personified Satan and his minions.

Masuria, the land of a thousand lakes with its fairytale dark forests, green slopes and hills and the heavy fertile wheat soil, when it is in ears, swaying in the wind like endless yellow seas of grain...

For photographers - motifs without end

Masuria - it makes the viewer's heart sing!
