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 area of the former Kreis Franzburg (currently part of Kreis Vorpommern-Rügen, Bundesland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany) was carried out by Paul Rieshals (?) from Szczecin (German: Stettin). He probably passed the source documentation on to Robert Holsten in 1935. The original language is German (including the Lower German dialect). Only the second part of the collection (including letters P-Z) has survived. The documentation comprises 88 sheets, some of them double-sided, comprising a typed index (67 sheets) and a handwritten index (21 sheets). The vast majority of the topographic maps with locations of physiographic objects and their names also survived in the documentation.
