Architecture and Urban Planning in East Prussia from 1933–1945

Defining Characteristics, Major Research Needs, and Research Themes

Abstract

This article describes best known realized and unrealized projects of Reichsgau East Prussia, region not incorporated into Poland until 1945, which is also the case for Lower Silesia or Western Pomerania. However, it also differs from the other two historic regions in that it is now partially in Poland and partially in Russia’s Kaliningrad Oblast. Jan Salm discusses main questions that arise in the case of this area and proposes new ideas for further research.
