Pomerania's Swedish era and its cultural heritage - In memory of Heiko Wartenberg (1959-2025)

Lecture by Dirk Schleinert as well as obituaries and music

Heiko Wartenberg, long-time archivist at the Pomeranian State Museum, died on 28 September 2025. As a scholar of Northern Europe, historian and archivist, he made an impressive contribution to research into Pomeranian regional history over many decades. Heiko Wartenberg was at home in Pomeranian regional history.

The history of Swedish Pomerania was particularly close to his heart, which was reflected in his commitment to the edition of the Swedish survey of Western Pomerania. This is why Dirk Schleinert, a long-time companion, provides insights into the Swedish history of Pomerania.

The Pomeranian State Museum and the Historical Commission for Pomerania invite you to a memorial service for Heiko Wartenberg with a lecture, obituaries and music. Afterwards there will be time for discussions.

In cooperation with the Historical Commission for Pomerania and the Society for the Promotion of the Pomeranian State Museum.

Admission free
