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. Documentation of names of physiographic objects from the northern part of the former Kreis Regenwalde (Polish: Resko; after territorial changes: Łobez District, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland) was made in 1934 by Heinrich Bosse (Eggesin, currently in Germany). The original documentation was drafted in German (including the Lower German dialect), with Slavic, Polish and Kashubian vocabulary. The documentation consists of 82 sheets, covered on both sides, comprising a typed index (78 sheets), a handwritten document (1 sheet), a paper (Wohlfahrts und Heimatpflege, 1925; 2 sheets) and a hand-drawn map (village of Voigtshagen / Włodarka, Kr. Greifenberg / Gryfice District; 1 sheet). The vast majority of the topographic maps with locations of physiographic objects and their names also survived in the documentation.
