Audio walk / radio play
Jamlitz, GER
In the forest and on the heath. The fate of the village of Jamlitz. (German language)
An audio drama made by
Kai-Uwe Kohlschmidt and Andreas Weigelt
Far from the centre of the world, in Lower Lusatia, lies a village that has been ravaged by the history of the last 100 years like no other. Jamlitz. The beauty of the landscape was to be both the village’s fortune and its undoing. Around 1900, artists discovered the picturesque surroundings and settled here. Many famous people soon visited the village. In the 1940s, the SS began to build the Kurmark military training area in the neighbourhood. They built a concentration camp in the centre of the village specifically for this purpose. After the war, the Soviet occupying forces converted the barracks into Special Camp No. 6. For the next 40 years, Jamlitz was at the centre of the largest Soviet military camp in the GDR. The railway station, where so many of these stories began, is now an educational centre for street children. The radio play takes a radiophonic journey through all these dramatic and epic stories. Over forty contemporary witnesses have their say. Villagers, survivors of the concentration camp and the special camp, street- and artists children tell the chequered and fateful history of the small village.
