Kreis Randow

Part of the collection: Flurnamen Sammlung

Popularization note

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. Documentation of the names of physiographic objects from the area of the former Kreis Randow (currently part of the Police District and the city of Szczecin, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, as well as in the Kreis Vorpommern-Greifswald, Bundesland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Kreis Uckermark, Bundesland Brandenburg, Germany) was developed in 1929-1934 by Heinrich Beckmann (teacher, Stettin / Szczecin), A. Lau (Penkun), Lorenz (first name unknown, Petershagen), Guse (first name unknown, teacher, Sonnenberg), Schultze (first name unknown, teacher, Wollin / Wolin). The original documentation was drafted in German (including the Lower German dialect), with fragments of Slavic, Polish and Kashubian vocabulary. The collection comprises two parts, both spanning A-Z. The documentation consists of 205 sheets, some of them double-sided, divided between two volumes, comprising handwritten lists (188 sheets), press (Volk und Wehr, 1936, 1 sheet; Pommersche Heimat, 1924, 4 sheets), hand-drawn maps (12 sheets). The vast majority of the topographic maps with locations of physiographic objects and their names also survived in the documentation.
