The article focuses on the biography and creative legacy of L. Rėza, a prominent figure from the Curonian Spit, as explained by Sonata Vaitonienė, director of the Liudvikas Rėza Culture Center in Juodkrantė. L. Rėza significantly impacted Lithuanian culture and history by initiating efforts to preserve the Lithuanian language seminar at the University of Königsberg in 1810, which had been operating since the early 18th century. His role as the director and lecturer at the seminar for 30 years fostered the growth of many important figures in Lithuanian literature.

In the same year, he founded the Lithuanian Bible Society in Königsberg, aiming to produce a scientifically edited third edition of the Lithuanian Bible based on original texts. This edition, published in 1816, was crucial for the parishes of Prussian Lithuania and was notable for its language, style, and translation quality. Rėza's work not only preserved the language but also enriched the cultural heritage of Lithuania, demonstrating the enduring importance of literary and educational efforts in the region.

Rėza's influence extended beyond just literature; it laid the foundation for future cultural initiatives within the Lithuanian community. His dedication to education and language preservation helped shape national identity during a period of significant political and social change. The events celebrating his contributions today reflect the continued relevance of his work in preserving Lithuanian culture, and they serve as a reminder of the importance of cultural figures who worked tirelessly to maintain the linguistic and historical legacy of Lithuania.
