    Pomerania in the Medieval and Renaissance Cartography… STUDIA MARITIMA, vol. XXXIII (2020) | ISSN 0137-3587 | DOI: 10.18276/sm.2020.33-04 Adam Krawiec Faculty of Historical Studies Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-3936-5037 Pomerania in the Medieval and Renaissance Cartography – from the Cottoniana to Eilhard Lubinus Keywords: Pomerania, Duchy of Pomerania, medieval cartography, early modern cartography, maritime cartography The following paper deals with the question of the cartographical image of Pomer- ania. What I mean here are maps in the modern sense of the word, i.e. Graphic rep- resentations that facilitate a spatial understanding of things, concepts, conditions, processes, or events in the human world1. It is an important reservation because the line between graphic and non-graphic representations of the Earth’s surface in the Middle Ages was sometimes blurred, therefore the term mappamundi could mean either a cartographic image or a textual geographical description, and in some cases it functioned as an equivalent of the modern term “Geography”2. Consequently, there’s a tendency in the modern historiography to analyze both forms of the geographical descriptions together. However, the late medieval and early modern developments in the perception and re-constructing of the space led to distinguishing cartography as an autonomous, full-fledged discipline of knowledge, and to the general acceptance of the map in the modern sense as a basic form of presentation of the world’s surface. Most maps which will be examined in the paper were produced in this later period, so it seems justified to analyze only the “real” maps, although in a broader context of the geographical imaginations.

  • Language Contact in Pomerania: the Case of German, Polish, and Kashubian
    P a g e | 1 Language Contact in Pomerania: The Case of German, Polish, and Kashubian Nick Znajkowski, New York University Purpose The effects of language contact and language shift are well documented. Lexical items and phonological features are very easily transferred from one language to another and once transferred, rather easily documented. Syntactic features can be less so in both respects, but shifts obviously do occur. The various qualities of these shifts, such as whether they are calques, extensions of a structure present in the modifying language, or the collapsing of some structure in favor the apparent simplicity found in analogous foreign structures, all are indicative of the intensity and the duration of the contact. Additionally, and perhaps this is the most interesting aspect of language shift, they show what is possible in the evolution of language over time, but also what individual speakers in a single generation are capable of concocting. This paper seeks to explore an extremely fascinating and long-standing language contact situation that persists to this day in Northern Poland—that of the Kashubian language with its dominating neighbors: Polish and German. The Kashubians are a Slavic minority group who have historically occupied the area in Northern Poland known today as Pomerania, bordering the Baltic Sea. Their language, Kashubian, is a member of the Slavic branch of Indo-European languages and further belongs to the Pomeranian branch of Lechitic languages, which includes Polish, Silesian, and the extinct Polabian and Slovincian. The situation to be found among the Kashubian people, a people at one point variably bi-, or as is sometimes the case among older folk, even trilingual in Kashubian, P a g e | 2 Polish, and German is a particularly exciting one because of the current vitality of the Kashubian minority culture.

  • The Weather in Germany in Spring 2019 Initially Warm, Later Cool – Much Sunshine and Sufficient Precipitation
    The weather in Germany in spring 2019 Initially warm, later cool – much sunshine and sufficient precipitation Offenbach, 29 May 2019 – Spring 2019 was very different from the previous year. Wintry weather marked the start of spring 2018 but it ended with hot summer temperatures. This year the contrast in temperatures was definitely less. Instead, a series of severe storms swept over the country in March. April started with a drought, which, however, did not continue in May, when weather conditions were cool and most areas received sufficient precipitation. Spring overall was somewhat too warm and sunny with normal precipitation totals. This is what the initial analysis by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) of data from its around 2,000 weather stations shows. A mild March and warm April were followed by a cool May At 9.0 degrees Celsius (°C), the average temperature in spring was 1.3 degrees higher than the international reference value 1961–1990. Looking at the comparative period 1981–2010, the deviation was 0.5 degrees above normal. March was much too mild at the start of spring 2019, with no frost at all during the first half of the month. April was also too warm and especially the Easter holiday weekend saw some summer days with temperatures above 25 °C. May, in contrast, was unusually cool. During the first third of the month, the mercury fell below freez- ing at night in many areas. The lowest temperature nationwide during spring 2019 was -9.2 °C in Oberstdorf on 20 March. The warmest days occurred in April and not, as would usually be expected, in May.

  • Along the Darss Peninsula – Course Set for the Hanse Sail Fri 03 August
    Along the Darss peninsula – course set for the Hanse Sail Fri 03 August 2018 – Tue 07 August 2018 From the Hanseatic city of Stralsund we are going to set course for Rostock ... on the way there, we will take some time to explore the coast of the Baltic Sea. This cruise is accompanied by two attractive maritime events: in Stralsund, a port festival called Seglarträff with historic traditional ships will be taking place. And at the time of our arrival at the port of Rostock, the city will already be in the midst of preparations for the upcoming Hanse Sail maritime festival. This taster cruise will be full of sailing experiences on the Baltic Sea as well as impressions of nature in protected mooring bays with interesting and exciting port visits. This is where you will go on board: Stralsund Our crew will welcome you on board in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. Embarkation will take place at 19:00 hours. Afterwards, you will have dinner together in the comfortable lounge, where you will quickly feel at home on the Eye of the Wind's deck and get to know your fellow sailors. In Stralsund we will take part in the Seglarträff, a maritime event for traditional ships with an attractive program for visitors and seafarers. The center of the former Hanseatic city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and definitely worth seeing. The Ozeaneum at the port sees itself as a declaration of love to the oceans: it has 45 aquariums, some of which are huge, an underwater journey through the northern seas, lifesize replicas of whales, and a penguin enclosure on the roof.
