Confrontation with various sources and narratives referring to the historic space of Eastern Prussia and its relevant current political setting. Prospective historians are getting used to prepare excursions under specific topics.

Eastern Prussia is a historical space which does not exist any more. Therefore it is used widely to limit its history to certain dramatic events of 20th century history (persecution. Second World War, enforced migration). Focusing on various stages of its historical development it can be linked to the history of political spaces (the Holy Roman Empire, the Lithouanian-Polish kingdom, kingdom of Prussia, Germany and Poland 1918 – 1945; Poland and USSR/RUS after 1945/89). Emphasis will be laid on how this is reflected in museums.

Reading, discussion of relevant literature, preparation of material for the excursion.

Preparation of relevant topics for the excursion and final essay.
