Passow celebrates Slawen heritage: New Tafel and dance evening in July!
Passow, Deutschland - In the small town of Passow, history comes to life! At the western entrance to the town, a new sign has recently been adorned with the sight of the walkers and drivers who come past. This board gives an informative overview of the Slavic Ringwall, which has been a listed building since the 1950s. The commitment of Freddie K., a talented singer and volunteer monument conservationist from Passow, contributed significantly to the rediscovery of this historical object. She noticed the ring wall in 2020 and did everything possible to bring its importance to light. In doing so, she saw old documents in the local museum in Schwedt and at the State Office for Monument Protection.
The table was set up on June 12, 2025, and the official inauguration is planned for June 20, 2025. Freddie K. wrote the text and her husband took care of the layout while the city of Schwedt took over the pressure. This initiative not only focuses on Slavic history, but also the great importance that such sites represent the cultural heritage of the region.
collaboration for history
Freddie K. received valuable support from experts, including archaeologist Kerstin Görlich and employees of various museums who brought in her expertise. The local entrepreneur Udo Jung noted that the wall was once larger and was removed by agricultural measures. This illustrates the challenges that historical sites often face.
In the near future, Freddie K. is planning further exciting projects, such as a viewing window at the site of a Germanic urn field. A mysterious place of worship on the B 166 with rows of stones that run to a central point is also examined more closely. There is a lot to discover!
It will start soon!
Another highlight will be the event "The Slavs come", which will take place from July 11th to 13th on the site of the "Kulturpalast" on the Schwedter Chaussee. Actors of the Slawendorf Neustrelitz and the music group "Svantopolk" support the cultural performances. The highlight of the weekend will be a dance evening on July 12th, where Slavic live music will create a good atmosphere. Other topics have already been planned for the coming year, including the old Germanic culture in Passow.
But not only in Passow the Slavic history came to a new bloom. Also outside the Uckermark there are fascinating archaeological sites such as the Archaeological open-air museum Groß Raden, where from 1950 to 1980 the management of Prof. Ewald Schuldt numerous Slavic castle complexes and settlements were excavated. One of the most important projects is the "Slavic temple location with wall system", which contributed to creating a picture of the life of the old Slavs in Mecklenburg.
The knowledge of excavations at that time show that the Slavic castles built in the 9th and 10th centuries were much more complex than was assumed earlier. These buildings, often arranged in circles with wood-grate-earth walls, still serve as evidence of the impressive construction of the Slavs.
The Slavic settlement in Germany has a long history that goes back to the 7th century when about a third of the country was shaped by Slavic. The remnants of this culture in the form of ramparts and circular villages are important building blocks of our historical heritage in today's Germany. Slavic place names such as Berlin or Chemnitz are still reminded of this time and ensure that the Slavic culture is still very popular.
Freddie K. and the entire team in Passow have a good hand in order to arouse interest in Slavic history. It remains exciting what the future has for the cultures living in the region.
