Kreis Usedom-Wollin
around 1933 — 1937
National Museum in Szczecin
Part of the collection: Flurnamen Sammlung
The documentation was developed as part of the project initiated by Pomeranian linguist, Dr Robert Holsten (1862-1954), with the aim to collect and compile contemporary folk and archive names of natural and anthropogenic physiographic objects, as well as inhabited and uninhabited places of the pre-war province of Pomerania (from Rügen to Lębork), with the help of teachers and local scientists. The collected set of archive materials – indices and maps with locations of objects – Flurnamen Sammlung – covers the intangible onomastic cultural heritage of the region. A documentation of names of physiographic objects from the area of the former Kreis Ueckermünde (currently a part of Kreis Vorpommern-Greifswald, Bundesland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany) was made in 1936 by Heinrich Bosse (1882-1958), a local scientist and teacher living in Pomerania (Eggesin, currently in Germany). His compilation entitled Die Forst-, Flur- und Gewässernamen der Ueckermünder Heide was published in 1962. The original documentation was drafted in German (including the Lower German dialect), with occasional Slavic, Polish and Kashubian vocabulary. The collection comprises three parts: A–Z, T–Z, A–Z. The documentation consists of 361 typewritten sheets. The vast majority of the topographic maps with locations of physiographic objects and their names also survived in the documentation.
