Change stories: The new home yearbook of the Saale-Orla district!

A fascinating work sees the light of the world! The 33rd yearbook of the Saale-Orla district, which is devoted to the topic "Landscapes and places in change", is here! Over 30 talented authors have embarked on an exciting journey to document the profound changes in their region. From disappeared villages to impressive infrastructure projects - the stories are as diverse as the landscape itself!

The story about the Hohenwartestausee, where the small village of Presswitz once bloomed. Today it is buried under water, and readers can discover the moving history of this lost place in this yearbook. The dramatic changes that German reunification brought with it 35 years ago are also illuminated. The Saale-Orla district, once a border region, has changed enormously in recent decades. Reports about the state security of the GDR and the gigantic pig breeding facility near Weira give a deep insight into the past.

Particular attention is paid to the Pößnecker Museum642, which has been in existence for ten years.

District Administrator Christian Herrgott praises the thorough research and the profound presentation of the topics that are often neglected in modern media.
