It is recalled how – at the moment a Polish state first came into being in the 10th century – its western border also followed a course more or less coinciding with these same two rivers. In subsequent cen- turies, the political limits of the Polish and German spheres of influence shifted markedly to the east. However, as a result of the drastic reverse suffered by Nazi Germany, the western border of Poland was re-set at the Oder-Neisse Line. Consideration is given to both the causes and consequences of this far-reaching geopolitical decision taken at the Potsdam Conference by the victorious Three Powers of the USSR, UK and USA. Key words Oder-Neisse Line • western border of Poland • Potsdam Conference • international boundaries Introduction districts – one for each successor – brought the loss, at first periodically and then irrevo- At the end of the 10th century, the Western cably, of the whole of Silesia and of Western border of Poland coincided approximately Pomerania. -
Pomerania in the Medieval and Renaissance Cartography – from the Cottoniana to Eilhard Lubinus
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. -
Risk Assessment of Virus Infections in the Oder Estuary (Southern Baltic) on the Basis of Spatial Transport and Virus Decay Simulations

Health 203, 317-325 (2001) © Urban & Fischer Verlag of Hygiene and http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/intjhyg Environmental Health Risk assessment of virus infections in the Oder estuary (southern Baltic) on the basis of spatial transport and virus decay simulations Gerald Schernewski1, Wolf-Dieter Jülich2 1 Baltic Sea Research Institute Warnemünde, Rostock-Warnemünde, Germany 2 Institute of Pharmacy, University of Greifswald, Germany Received September 13, 2000 · Accepted January 09, 2001 Abstract The large Oder (Szczecin) Lagoon (687 km2) at the German-Polish border, close to the Baltic Sea, suffers from severe eutrophication and water quality problems due to high discharge of water, nu- trients and pollutants by the river Oder. Sewage treatment around the lagoon has been very much improved during the last years, but large amounts of sewage still enter the Oder river. Human path- ogenic viruses generally can be expected in all surface waters that are affected by municipal sewage. There is an increasing awareness that predisposed persons can be infected by a few infective units or even a single active virus. Another new aspect is, that at least polioviruses attached to suspend- ed particles can be infective for weeks and therefore be transported over long distances. Therefore, the highest risk of virus inputs arise from the large amounts of untreated sewage of the city of Szcze- cin (Poland), which are released into the river Oder and transported to the lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Summer tourism is the most important economical factor in this coastal region and further growth is expected. -

Low Sea Level Occurrence of the Southern Baltic Sea Coast
International Journal Volume 4 on Marine Navigation Number 2 and Safety of Sea Transportation June 2010 Low Sea Level Occurrence of the Southern Baltic Sea Coast I. Stanisławczyk, B. Kowalska & M. Mykita Instytut Meteorologii i Gospodarki Wodnej, Oddział Morski, Gdynia, Poland ABSTRACT: The level of 440 cm is defined as the upper limit of low sea level. This value is also accepted as the warning level for navigation, according to the NAVTEX. The low sea levels along the southern Baltic Sea coast were analyzed in the years 1955 – 2005. Lowest values recorded ranged from 309 cm in Wismar to 370 cm in Kołobrzeg. The phenomenon was chiefly generated by hurricane like offshore winds. Extremely low levels were not frequent, their occurrence did not exceed more than 0,3% in Świnoujście and not more than 1% in Warnemünde. In summer months these phenomena occurred extremely seldom, they were more fre- quent in the western, than in the eastern part of the coast. Long-term variation and statistical analysis was pre- sented. Probability of low sea levels occurrence was calculated by Gumbel method and percentile distribution for 4 gauge stations was analyzed. The calculations revealed that, for instance, in Warnemünde once in 20 years the minimum sea level can be as low as 358 cm. 1 INTRODUCTION gauges in Wismar, Warnemünde, Sassnitz, Świnoujście and Kołobrzeg.

Simulating Sea Surfaces for Modeling Viking Age Seafaring in the Baltic Sea
Simulating Sea Surfaces for Modeling Viking Age Seafaring in the Baltic Sea George Indruszewski1 and C. M. Barton2 1Viking Ship Museum Roskilde, Denmark 2School for Human Evolution and Social Change Arizona State University Tempe, AZ, USA [email protected] Abstract Inferences in nautical and maritime archaeology about sailing routes in the Viking Age in Northern Europe are based today almost entire- ly on historical information coupled with results gained from experimental archaeology. The authors propose here a third method, which combines computer simulation with the aforementioned information sources. These sources are used together with digital bathymetric models (DBM’s) of the Baltic seafloor, wind, current, and other real sailing parameters to create cost surfaces for modeling early medi- eval seafaring. Real sailing data obtained in the summer of 2004 with the Viking Age replica, Ottar, are used to model sea routes in the Baltic Sea. Both GIS-Esri and GRASS GIS are compared as modeling tools and used in least-cost path and anisotropic spread analyses to simulate sea routing in prehistoric land- and seascapes across which humans traveled more than a thousand years ago. The results of the study are evaluated in the context of experimental archaeology and modern sailing conditions in the Baltic Sea. 1 Introduction Maritime archaeology and, especially, historical research Blecingæg ond Meore ond Eowland ond Gotland dealing with Viking Age seafaring, have tried for a long time on bæcbord, ond Þas land hyrað to Sweon.

On 23 October 1815, Sweden Lost Its Last Remaining Conquest Of
Swedish Pomeranian Shipping in the Revolutionary Age (1776–1815) Magnus Ressel n 23 October 1815, Sweden lost its last remaining conquest of the OThirty Years War. As a result of a complicated exchange, Sweden gai- ned Norway as a kingdom to be ruled in personal union by its king. In return, Denmark obtained the little Duchy of Lauenburg, which Prussia had acquired previously from Hanover in exchange for Eastern Frisia, only to be used as a bargaining chip. To make up for differences in the relative importance of these territories, substantial flows of money accompanied the entire clearing pro- cess.1 Swedish Pomerania thus left the Swedish orbit for good. It had been a small province on the southern coast of the Baltic with an area of 4 400 km², the main part stretching from Damgarten to Anklam with Stralsund and Gre- ifswald as the most important cities. The island of Rügen (with another 920 km²) had also belonged to the Swedish possessions in the Holy Roman Em- pire, as had the city of Wismar with a little hinterland (this only until 1803). Magnus Ressel (fil.dr) arbetar som forskare vid universitetet i Bochum. Han skrev sin avhandling på ämnet ”Northern Europe and the Barbary corsairs during the Early Modern Epoch”. Han bedriver för tillfället forskning rörande Hansan, Nederländerna, Danmark och Sverige under Trettioåriga kriget. 64 65 Sweden’s provinces in Germany had been saved twice for the kingdom, in 1678 by France alone and in 1719 by France and England together when they had joined to preserve as much as possible of the weakened country’s German territories.2 Now this was undone forever.
