„[Überall] stand eine Erinnerung wie ein Gespenst“: Die Darstellung der Banater Provinz in Nadine Schneiders Roman Drei Kilometer

Using the example of the village novel Three Kilometers from the final phase of the Ceaușescu dictatorship, the article follows the discovery of memory, examining the image of the Banat village community, which is dominated by hopelessness, fear and thoughts of flight. The emptiness and the cold motif used at the end point to the dissolution of the Swabian village world. The Banat village is presented at the interface between real life reality and a landscape of memories.
