In the early 20th century, Jamlitz in Lower Lusatia — owned by the Counts of Schulenburg of Lieberose from 1622 to 1945, was more of a small industrial village than a farming community. It featured a pond, forests, water mills, a sawmill, a brewery, and a glassworks. At the same time, the gently rolling landscape with its meadows, ponds and lakes, springs and streams, sandy hills, and damp hollows with heather, birch, and pine trees offered a rich variety of picturesque motifs that have been preserved to this day. This idyll, however, turned into a place of terror in 1943.
Through its exhibition, the Lausitz Biennale underscores the potential to rediscover sites and structures, their scars, and the spaces shaped by overgrowth, neglect, and abandonment.
The successors of the former Jamlitz artists’ circle, today known as Kunst und Kultur Jamlitz, are members of the Association of European Artists Colonies.
