Home after 37 years: Prenzlauer celebrates Reunion in the heart of the Uckermark

Prenzlau, Deutschland - A visit to the city festival in Prenzlau brought Andrea Randweg back to her roots. Born in Prenzlauer, who moved near Stuttgart with her parents 37 years ago with her parents on request and with the approval of an exit from Prenzlau, felt like a different time. Even if it is now deeply rooted in Swabia, the Uckermark remains an inseparable part of her life for her. "Home is and remains an important part of my life," she says, while she strolls through the city with her husband Thorsten and her daughter Charlyn.

Torsten Randweg, who always lets his wife immerse yourself in the feeling of Prenzlau, is enthusiastic about the sandmen mascot and demands a souvenir photo. Every year the family spends their vacation in Camp Solaris at the picturesque Lake Lake. "Nowhere else we are going there more," says Thorsten full of conviction and highlights the good mood of the people in Prenzlau.

a class reunion with memories

Another highlight for Andrea was the invitation to a class reunion after 40 years. The former classmates from the Pestalozzi School, who survived the difficult years after the turn and the move, come together again and again. Most recently, the 1971 high school graduation met on June 12th to celebrate the meeting with the focus on the football European championship.

A total of 15 former schoolmates came together to exchange memories of the old Pushkin school. The atmosphere was shaped by nostalgia, especially when the deceased six classmates was thought of. With a tasty lunch in the forest restaurant "Kleine Heide" and a subsequent city tour through Prenzlau, which was mentioned in 1188, the day became a tribute to your own past.

A look into the past and the Uckermark today

The Uckermark itself has an impressive story. This region in northeast Germany is characterized by its diverse landscape with many lakes and is estimated as one of the oldest settlement areas in Brandenburg. The Uckermark was originally a controversial area between Pomerania and Brandenburg, which only fell in 1250 by the Treaty of Landin under Brandenburg rule. Today it is known as a structurally weakest region in Germany, but offers a unique culture and many large protection areas for tourists. [Wikipedia]

The population of Prenzlau, the traditional main town of the Uckermark, is currently around 20,000. Historical sights such as the well -restored city wall characterize the cityscape and attract visitors. Despite its low colonization, the Uckermark has a lot to offer, be it in agriculture, wind power or food industry. The down -to -earth cuisine and warm people give the region their special charm.

With these memories and the deep connection to the Uckermark, it is once more evident that homeland is more than just a geographical place - it is the feeling that accompanies you for a lifetime.
