500 years ago, Albrecht von Hohenzollern, the last Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, paid homage to the Polish king. This established the Hohenzollerns’ rule over the new Duchy of Prussia. The creation of a Prussian state was to have a decisive influence on German-Polish relations for centuries to come.
As part of a conference to commemorate the event of 1525, the SITE SPECIFICS event will look at the effects of this centuries-long history of interdependence between Poland-Lithuania and Brandenburg-Prussia up to the time of Nationalism and more recent political developments.
What differences were and are there in the assessment of ‘1525’ in Germany and Poland? Can aspects of this history of relations be emphasised on the occasion of the anniversary that are otherwise hardly publicly present? What significance do the relations between the pre-modern multi-confessional states of Poland-Lithuania and Brandenburg-Prussia have for current German-Polish relations?
At a central location of Prussian-Polish history, the site of the historic Berlin Palace, we invite you to a discussion with experts from Poland and Germany.
Prusy bez Polski nie żyją!
500 lat Historii Prus i Stosunków Polsko-Niemieckich
500 lat temu ostatni Wielki Mistrz Zakonu Krzyżackiego, Albrycht z Hohenzollernów, złożył hołd lenny polskiemu królowi. Ustanowiło to panowanie Hohenzollernów nad nowym Księstwem Pruskim, które pozostawało pod zwierzchnictwem Królestwa Polskiego przez ponad 130 lat.
W ramach konferencji upamiętającej wydarzenie z 1525 r., dyskusja panelowa ‘wizyta na miejscu’ przyjrzy się skutkom wielowiekowej historii współzależności między Polską a Litwą oraz Brandenburgią i Prusami aż do czasów nacjonalizmu i nowszych wydarzeń politycznych.
Jakie były i są różnice w ocenie roku 1525 w Niemczech i w Polsce? Czy z okazji jubileuszu można podkreślić te aspekty historii stosunków, które w przeciwnym razie nie są publicznie obecne? Jakie znaczenie dla obecnych stosunków polsko-niemieckich mają relacje między nowoczesnymi wielowyznaniowymi państwami Polski i Litwy oraz Brandenburgii i Prus?
W centralnym miejscu prusko-polskiej historii, na terenie historycznego Pałacu Berlińskiego, zapraszamy na wymianę z ekspertami z Polski i Niemiec.
