Eighth Session of the United Nations
Group of Experts on Geographical Names
New York, .!5 - 16 March 1979
Concerning item 11 of .the provisional agenda
Geographical names on tke Baltic Sea coast .
df the German ‘Democratic Republic . . Prepared by the Surveying and Mapping Administration of .the klinistry of the Interior of the German Democratic Republic
Introduction .
The spelling 0 f the geographic=1 names on the Baltic c--GJGO
coast of thelGorman Democratic Republic was p,repared and stip-
.?ulated in cooperation with the Hydrographic Service of the
.Cerman Democratic Republic (3E dar DGR). In nautical charts’
as well as’in all other cartographic products published in the
GDR, the names are reproduced in a standardized manner. This
procedure contributed to the national standardization of geo-
graphical nades in.the GDR.
In this connection it should be mentioned that in the area
bordeiing the Polish People’s Republic the “Pommersche- Bucht”
and “Stettiner Haff” were renamed after 1945, the new names I -being Dderbucht and Oderhaff. Consequently, the terms “Pommer-
/- ---- .- _ _ .--- I sche Bucht-“’ and “Stettiner Haff” are htiorically outdated and i L should be used only on historical maps and’ in ‘historical text:
