 Travelling exhibition '' Neighbour ?language! - Stories from the Border Region''

The exhibition shows people - from student to senior citizens - from the Saxon-Polish-Czech border region and tells their very personal stories of opening up to the neighbouring languages of Polish and Czech and to the culture of their neighbours. Find out, for example, how master baker Armin Hübner managed to open up to his Polish neighbours through curiosity, a sense of tradition and an open heart, or how young Anna Käsche first spent a year as a volunteer in Ústi nad Labem and has since found a second home in the Czech Republic.

With the exhibition, we want to show how diverse the very personal motives of individual people are to learn Polish or Czech, and what diverse opportunities and added value can result for them in the border region. The exhibition is intended to provide impulses and encouragement to set out on the same path and to tap into the potential of our neighbourhood with Poland and the Czech Republic.

Neighbour?language! - Stories from the Border Region is a joint project of

This exhibition by Wolfgang Göschel was developed in cooperation with the book author and "Republikflüchtling" (refugee from the Republic) Michael Meinicke and the pupils of the Königstein secondary school.

It is intended to encourage young and old to deal with the history of their own country and to reflect on their own experiences and memories. The GDR is neither glorified nor condemned.

Grandparents can use the exhibits to tell their grandchildren what the GDR era was like for them.

We look forward to your feedback.

As the exhibition cannot be visited as planned due to the current Corona restrictions, you have the opportunity to get a few impressions here.
