<:pepehands:611723025351704606>

it looks nice

dont kow waht you are talking about

It's Königsberg

Will always be Königsberg

Regardless the circumstances

what looks nice?

Königsberg?

it was one of the greatest citites of german civilization

now it's russia's

probably forever

same thing with Danzig

I'd even say Prague was a German city

I wouldn't say Prague
As far as static borders are concerned, yes Germany will put up with them as long as the EU is around

Should it change and neighbours actually become real neighbours again I'm pretty sure it'd lead to tensions again

Interestingly Russia actually offered Kaliningrad up to Germany under Yeltsin

Which the German chancellor, a traitor, rejected

yes its about as german as gdansk and sczeczin xD

I actually have relatives on the border

Wasn't Prague the cultural center of the German world for centuries? It even hosted the largest German university for quite some time

Guben/Gubin

heart of the HRE

Half the city is now Polish

There's still the ruins of a German protestant church on the Polish side

Haven't bothered to restore it

Prague used to be the center of the HRE, but it was never a German city

Except maybe in terms of architecture

Different story in the Sudetenland though

Czechia's population took a long time to reach prewar levels because of the expulsion of Germans

They almost made up a quarter of the population in all of Czechoslovakia

The name is "Tuwangste"
