Erich Mendelsohn’s ‘New lodge’ 1924-26 in what was then Tilsit, East Prussia. In Mendelsohn’s time a thriving multi-ethnic border town. Sadly its role as a command centre of wartime atrocities against its and the region’s Jewish citizens is recorded in painful detail. Occupied by Soviet troops in 1945 it became Russian territory with a name change to Sovetsk in the Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. Image with thanks go @pv_kuznetsov see over at @greyscapeworld for a ‘then and now’ image. In 1807 Napoleon and Emperor Alexander of Russia in a meeting held on a grand raft moored in the middle of the Neman River made the Peace of Tilsit.
