Inhalt

"Encounters in the border area - preserving and shaping our cultural memory together", we see this project as an opportunity for an alliance to preserve, revitalize and continue our cultural and historical heritage in the Saxon-Bohemian border area. The border between Saxony and Bohemia is considered to be one of the most stable of its kind in Europe. As early as the early Middle Ages, numerous encounters on an economic, cultural and religious level can be proven in the Saxon-Bohemian border region. Mutual feudal relationships between the Saxon-Bohemian noble families bridged the still largely sparsely populated area. Alongside the Elbe valley, mule tracks led through the dense border forest over the Ore Mountains. The ways in which encounters and relationships developed exerted a great influence on settlement in the border area and left a unique cultural memory. With this joint project, there will be joint events on the German and Czech side, which are aimed at the general population across generations and do not allow any discrimination. In addition, people with disabilities are warmly welcome. With speakers and actors from the Czech Republic / Saxony and in cooperation with the German / Czech partner associations, we would like to show the living stories of North Bohemia and Saxony. The program of the joint “kick-off event” on May 1st weekend will take place at a historical and special place, the former border fortress “Schloss Kuckuckstein” in Liebstadt, directly on the A17 motorway between Dresden and Prague. Friendly connections, shared stories and wonderful nature, the "border area" has a lot to offer. Bilingual flyers and information material invite guests and participants on both sides of the border to the event and to a joint open meeting. The Small Fortress (Malá pevnost) is part of Terezin. On the occasion of 240 years, Small Fortress, a similar event is planned for the beginning of October 2020 in Terezin, as now in May at Kuckuckstein Castle, as a further highlight.

Ergebnisse, Mehrwert, Nachhaltigkeit

We see clearly recognizable added value for the region in the following points; • Development of new forms of work and cooperation models in cultural and social life • Preservation and meaningful use of the (still) existing cultural institutions (e.g. Kuckuckstein Castle, Decin Castle) in the interest of the general public • Enable the community to participate and act, arouse interest and encourage participation • Creating opportunities for meeting and exchanging ideas • Establishing cultural offers tailored to the population • Remaining active and attractive as a place to live • Investing in the future, from being a spectator to being a participant • Increase cultural offerings and quality of life in the countryside and the border region • Out of school Transnational education • Preservation of the cultural heritage and passing it on to the next generation (s) • Create new incentives at regional level • Get together with other people, get to know new people, win members for the club's work, develop strategies for young talent • Appreciation and attention eit, joint appearances, press and public relations • bundling work and energy, project management • helping to shape society, at least on a small scale effect culturally and set it up on site. For example, summer theater in the castle courtyard, magic at Kuckuckstein Castle, exhibition of reverse glass painting, Memorial Day, redesign of the Napoleon room, regular opening times and guided tours, as well as the occasional castle café. With this project idea we want to create sustainable cooperation, networking and collaboration between the border region of Saxony and Bohemia. From the discussions with the individual clubs it became clear that the problems are similar across borders. Finding offspring, organizing events, finding new uses for preserving old monuments or creating new ideas were all mentioned. A dusty external perception also plays a role.
