Dybbøl : The reconstruction of Denmark's most significant memorial landscape

This film examines the transformation of Dybbøl battlefield into one of the most important places of memory for the Danish people; a site which came to represent both catastrophic loss and the rebirth of a nation.
Professor Inge Adriansen, Curator of the Museum Sønderjylland, and CRIC Director Dr Marie Louise Stig Sørensen of Cambridge University describe the changing political and emotional claims made for the site and the memorial heritage that has developed as a result.
Prussia's decisive victory at Dybbøl in 1864 initiated the campaign for a greater Germany while Denmark's defeat defined a new nation.
CRIC's Dybbøl research provides a long term perspective on the way symbolic memorial landscapes in Europe can change in their use and meaning.
The film also shows how today's memorial events at Dybbøl are being adapted to promote European reconciliation.

The TV series 1864 brought me here. This history is fascinating. I am glad to see the shift towards reconciliation over time.

Thank you for sharing this introduction to the conflicts and the symbols of memory and reconciliation. For an audience who does not know the landscape personally, it helps to explain the emotional strength of the Dybbøl battlefield.
