While the name Mahatma Gandhi is certainly familiar to many people of various nationalities and religions, the second person depicted, Hermann Kallenbach—including me personally—was completely unknown until I encountered this monument depicting the two companions. + Mahatma (actually Mohandas Karamchand) Gandhi, 1869 to 1948 (nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize at the time of his assassination) was a pioneer of India's independence from Great Britain, always and uncompromisingly advocating non-violent resistance and decisively rejecting armed struggle. + Hermann Kallenbach, 1871 (in Lithuania, then part of Russia) to 1945 (South Africa), was the son of Jewish parents and emigrated to South Africa. There he met Gandhi and became a friend and supporter of his cause.

The story of Gandhi and Kallenbach is a deeply intimate and personal one. But it also has historical and academic significance. This story is fascinating for another reason, because it proves and highlights the possibility of cross-cultural influences leading to much greater results, as manifested in Gandhi's impact on world history.

Unfortunately, there is not much left to see here. Nevertheless, given the history of the Memel region, it is worth mentioning.

The lighthouse Uostadvaris (Lithuanian Uostadvario švyturys, German Kuwertshof ) is a lighthouse in Lithuania. It is located in the Neman Delta, on the southern bank of the Atamata, in the village of Uostadvaris, Šilutė Municipality, Klaipėda District. The lighthouse was built between 1873 and 1876 when the Memel delta was still part of the German Empire. It has the shape of a regular octagon and is made of red brick masonry. The outer wall is decorated with green glazed bricks. Inside, a spiral staircase leads to the lantern room and observation deck. Next door is the house of the lighthouse keeper. The beacon was extinguished in 1986 and is now no longer used for navigation as a technical monument. https://www.wikiwand.com/de/Lighthouse_Uostadvaris

The small ethnographic museum with three fishermen's houses lies dreamily on a spot near the Neman river near Russe. Signs point the way out of the town center.
