Statt-Museum, Demmin in Pommern, 1937
Guten Tag im anStatt-Museum von Demmin. Über die Geschichte der Post in Demmin könnte man ein Buch schreiben - so vielfältig ist das Thema. Und mit einer Fotografie von 1937 beenden wir diese Ausstellungswoche. Wir schauen vom Gesellius-Platz in die Anklamer Straße und sehen vor der Post und gegenüber Gebäude, die 1945 abbrannten.
