“Strandingen – da de franske og sovjetiske krigsfanger strandede på Langeland”

Museet markerer 75-året for Danmarks befrielse med en anderledes fortælling om krigens slutning, nemlig to udstillinger om de 1400 franske og sovjetiske krigsfanger, der strandede ved Påø den 4. maj 1945 – en unik fortælling om et spændende kulturmøde.

Den ene udstilling kan ses på Jens Winthers Vej 12 i Rudkøbing, hvor der er fokus på de sovjetiske fanger og deres indkvartering og liv i Rudkøbing.

Den anden udstilling vil være at finde i hovedbygningen på Danmarks Naturfonds ejendom Skovsgaard – nær ved stedet, hvor strandingen fandt sted i 1945. Her er fokus på de franske fanger, der en overgang var indkvarteret på Skovsgaard.

Exhibition:

The Yellow House

A thrall, with hands bound behind his back and beheaded before being buried together with his master. One of the world’s first documented drilled teeth, an operation carried out 3,000 years ago with a drill bit tipped with flint. The skull of a man from the same period who managed to survive with a large hole in his skull, probably the result of a blow to the head.

This unique Viking Age and Neolithic finds, made here on Langeland, are just a small part of the extensive archaeological collection on display in the yellow building at Jens Winthers Vej 12 in Rudkøbing. The exhibits also include items found by Archaeology South Funen’s marine archaeologists at prehistoric settlements now flooded by the sea, as well as changing, temporary exhibitions.

The museum was built according to a design by the architect P. Baumann in period style. Originally the museum only consisted of the front part of the building that now faces the road. But as the archaeological collection grew rapidly, it was already necessary to extend the building in the 1930s. A new building, similar to the first was built behind it and the two sections were connected be a transverse connection section. This gave the museum’s ground plan its characteristic H-shape.

Ausstellungen:

Ein Sklave, der zurückgebunden und enthauptet wird, bevor er mit seinem Herrn begraben wird. Eine der weltweit ersten dokumentierten Zahnbohrungen, durchgeführt vor 3.000 Jahren mit einem Bohrer mit Feuersteinspitze. Der Schädel eines Mannes aus der gleichen Zeit, der mit einem großen Loch im Schädel überlebt hat, wahrscheinlich das Ergebnis eines Schlags auf den Kopf…

Diese einzigartigen Langland-Funde aus der Wikingerzeit und der Jungsteinzeit sind nur ein kleiner Teil der umfangreichen archäologischen Sammlung, die im gelben Gebäude in Jens Winthers Vej 12 in Rudkøbing ausgestellt ist.
