Discover Zinnowitz: book presentation with 180 historical images!
In Zinnowitz, a picturesque town in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, a very special book will be presented on Wednesday afternoon, July 16, 2025. Under the title "Zinnowitz. The village history in moving images", the Zinnowitz Historical Society is presenting a collection of 180 previously unpublished photographs that document the village's eventful history. The book launch is of great interest not only to the local residents, but also to the numerous guests of Zinnowitz.
The responsible organizer, Ute Spohler, has spent months researching old photographs and historical background to give people an authentic look at the past. The book launch is supported by an accompanying exhibition in the local history and railway museum, which shows some of the images from the book. This exhibition offers visitors the unique opportunity to experience Zinnowitz's story up close and learn more about the background to the photographs.
Insight into the past
The publication of the photographs opens up a new perspective on village life and developments in Zinnowitz since 1945. The book shows not only everyday scenes, but also special events that have shaped life in the community. These images tell the stories of the people who live here and reflect the changes the place has undergone over the decades. The project brings Zinnowitz’s legacy to life and is a valuable resource for historians and interested laypeople.
The topic is also taken up in the regional news on NDR 1 Radio MV. On the morning of the book launch day, specifically at 9:35 a.m., there will be exciting information and background information that will accompany the event in a special way.
Further information
Anyone interested in Zinnowitz's detailed village history can also find the book on the Amazon sales platform, where further information is available. This means that those interested can take a first look at the moving images before the performance and get in the mood for the event.
Zinnowitz scores with stories and memories that come to life through this book and the exhibition, and the organizers have shown real sensitivity. The event promises to be a real treat for all history buffs and photography lovers!
