Description

Shifting Lines, Entangled Borderlands explores how a 19th-century railroad line transformed into a transnational force, connecting Europeans across borders in an era of rising nationalism.

The Royal Prussian Eastern Railroad, also known as the Ostbahn, initially connected Berlin to East Prussia's Königsberg before expanding into the Imperial Russian network. This railway became a backbone of European East-West transportation, facilitating trade, tourism, technological exchange, and migration.

This book analyzes the nodes of the Central and Eastern European rail network, from border towns and cities to unique structures like stations and bridges, shedding light on the spaces in between.
