Die Marienburg: Vom Machtzentrum des Deutschen Ordens zum mitteleuropäischen Erinnerungsort, ed. Bernd Ulrich Hucker, Eugen Kotteand Christine Vogel

The Castle of Marienburg (Malbork) undergoes a complex transformation from a medieval power center to a contested symbol of European history. Originally the seat of the Teutonic Order and later a royal residence in Poland, its narrative shifts dramatically under Prussian rule, Nazi propaganda, and post-war conflicts. The castle's 50–60% destruction during World War II and subsequent restoration efforts highlight its layered significance as both a monument of German history and a site of collective memory. This study traces these transitions, revealing how the castle's physical and symbolic reconstruction reflects broader European historical narratives.
