520 |a This article focuses on Königsberg, now Kaliningrad, as an urban memory paradigm in the German context. The first part looks at contrasting views of Kaliningrad, based on visits to the city, as a lieu de mémoire in the late 1950s and the early 1990s. The second discusses the memory of expellees in 1950s West Germany as a form of nostalgic reconstruction. The third analyses Johannes Bobrowski's literary work on Königsberg of the 1960s in the GDR, showing how Bobrowski resists convenient forms of political forgetting and simplistic interpretations of cultural history, despite the nostalgic and commemorative qualities of his writing.
