Forgotten Diversity of Bukovina: An Evening Full of History, Culture, and Memory in Potsdam
On June 15, 2026, the German Cultural Forum Eastern Europe, in collaboration with Urania 'Wilhelm Foerster' Potsdam, will delve into the fascinating cultural landscape of Bukovina. The lecture by Prof. Dr. Jana Osterkamp will shed light on a region that was considered a multilingual Europe in miniature in the 19th century and is still characterized by cultural diversity, Jewish history, and Habsburg heritage.
A Lecture that Expands Horizons
The event emphasizes solid dissemination and strong historical storytelling. The focus is on Bukovina as a space between Moldavian monasteries, Chernivtsi, and abandoned Jewish cemeteries. Those interested in history, Eastern Europe, cultural memory, as well as literary and social contexts will experience a richly engaging event with professional depth and atmospheric presence.
Bukovina as a Cultural Exploration
The evening is part of the series Bukovina & Galicia – Insights into the Cultural Landscapes of Western Ukraine. This brings Potsdam to the center of a region known for multilingualism, religious diversity, and European entanglements. This is precisely what makes the lecture appealing: it connects science, historical perspective, and current cultural memory into a lively and accessible format.
Strong Speaker with an Academic Profile
Prof. Dr. Jana Osterkamp teaches Eastern European history at the University of Augsburg and heads the Bukovina Institute. Her work is characterized by careful research, clear categorization, and an eye for historical connections. This makes the evening particularly interesting for an audience seeking a deeper understanding of the region beyond mere facts.
