My mother grew up on a farm in the village of Maulen, near Königsberg, East Prussia, Germany, 1938-45. World War 2 didn't reach them until January 1945 when, after being held prisoner for 3 days, they fled across the Frisches Haff as Soviet forces took the region. This video is made from the handful of photos that survived from then, along with a couple of others from later on & a postcard of the village. To accompany this, I asked my mother to sing 'The East Prussia Song' (Land Der Dunklen Walder), a pre-war song celebrating East Prussia. At the end there's the opening line of 'Kinderstunde', a kids radio show she used to listen to then, & part of a song about pigeons! She was 85 y.o. at the time of the recording & not used to singing into a microphone, so forgive the occasional wobble! There's no political agenda here, just a desire to preserve these memories for posterity.
Meine Mutter wuchs 1938-45 auf einem Bauernhof im Dorf Maulen bei Königsberg in Ostpreußen auf. Der Zweite Weltkrieg erreichte sie erst im Januar 1945, als sie nach dreitägiger Gefangenschaft über das Frische Haff flohen, als die sowjetischen Truppen die Region eroberten. Dieses Video besteht aus einer Handvoll Fotos, die von damals überlebt haben, zusammen mit ein paar anderen von später und einer Postkarte des Dorfes. Dazu bat ich meine Mutter, „Das Ostpreußenlied“ (Land Der Dunklen Walder) zu singen, ein Vorkriegslied, das Ostpreußen feiert. Am Ende gibt es die Eröffnungszeile von 'Kinderstunde', einer Kinderradiosendung, die sie damals hörte, & Teil eines Liedes über Tauben! Sie war 85 Jahre alt. zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme und nicht daran gewöhnt, in ein Mikrofon zu singen, also verzeihen Sie das gelegentliche Wackeln! Hier gibt es keine politische Agenda, sondern nur den Wunsch, diese Erinnerungen für die Nachwelt zu bewahren.

My mother was born in Maulen in 1940. In 1952, she emigrated to the United States with her parents. If you are familiar with the Tietz, Meschkat, or Hoseit surnames, please let me know. She passed away some years ago and I’ve found it rather difficult to find information about Maulen.

Your mom sung the Song of East Prussia so beautifully from her memory. The story of what happened in East Prussia at the end of WW2 is one of the saddest that I have ever heard. I actually shed tears the first time I heard about it. It is my hope that the history and traditions of the people who once lived in East Prussia will be preserved for posterity for future generations.
