Travel Guide "Remembrance Connects Region Oder-Warta"

15 A h i stor i ca l ly common cultura l area A h i stor i ca l ly common cultura l area Oderbruch serves as a model for the future of rural areas in Europe. From a historical perspective, the cultural land- scape owes its existence to the most advanced engineering knowledge in Europe in the 18 th century. It stands for an appropriation of nature on a large scale, labour-intensive but sus- tainable. Its water system has been constantly optimised and made more environmentally friendly over genera- tions, surviving the breakdown of systems and wars. Due to immigration from many parts of Europe, Oderbruch is now a diverse space: a Little Europe. The unique significance of Oderbruch‘s cultural and historical landscape was recognised in 2022 with the European Heritage Label ( EHL ). Experience the cultural heritage As designated cultural heritage sites, local history rooms and village muse- ums, land and architectural monuments, pumping stations, ship and windmills, churches and farms, all make it possible to experience the cultural heritage of this landscape.
