Browary - History and stories

Stand: 28.05.2024

The search for a solidarity partnership in times of war has led the cities of Erlangen and Jena to Browary near Kiev.

The experience of the present could not be more different for the two places: While the people in Erlangen are only indirectly affected by the war in Ukraine, for example through increased gas prices or the arrival of refugees, the people in Browary are still struggling with the shelling of critical infrastructure by the Russian attackers. There are regular power cuts, and staff at the Browary local history museum were also unable to answer questions.

The following text is therefore only preliminary and is based on the information I was able to gather in Germany, also with the help of my colleague Vadym Zolotaryov, who fled Kharkiv, and my colleague Maria Parkhomenko, who also fled Kharkiv. The focus of the text is on the violent history of the 20th century, which goes hand in hand with a special responsibility to remember.
