Meynen Inclusion or omission of names, and reference to countries, do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the dompilers of the list concerning the legal status of any area.or igeographical object, Introduction The selective list of German exonyms submitted to the UNGEGN - has been worked out in accordance with the recommendations of the United Nations of 1972 and 1977. +I By "exonym" the United Nations understand a geographical name (1) used in a certain language for a geographical object situa- ted outside the area where the given language has official sta- tus, and (2) which deviates in its form from the name used in the offi- cial language, or languages; of the area where the geographi- cal object is situated. According to Resolution 19, Athens 1977, the following catego- ries of exonyms are;excluded from the list: Names that differ from the official names only by omission, addition, or modification of diacritical signs or the article; further, names which differ from the official names only by flexion or derivation; finally names which differ only by translation of the generic element of the name (examples: Istanbul insted of fstanbul, Lode insted of addi, Spezia in- sted of La Spezia, Golf van Sant'Eufemia, Pa13 von Roncesvalles), Furthermore, the following names are not included in the list: names of independent countries, names of continents and oceans, and cases of short-lived renaming such as, for instance, Zabrze/ Bindenburg. According to the selective character of the list a great number of current exonyms other than tose excluded under the above-mentioned restrictions has been left out. +) Resolution No 28' of the Second United Nations Conference on .Standardizati& of 'Geographical Names, London 1972, and Reso- lutions No. 18 and 19 of the Third United Nations Conference on Standardization of Geographical Names, Athens 1977. -3- Exonym Official name Country Abruzzen Appennino Abruzzese 1 Adelsberg Postojna PU Adlergebirge Orlicke hory CS Adriatisches Meer, also Adria Mare Adriatico/Jadransko more, ah0 Jadran/Jadransko morje/Deti Adriatik Ägäisches Meer Aigaion Pelagos/Ege denizi Agram Zagreb YU Aleppo Halab SYR Aleuten Aleutian Islands USA Alexandria Al-Iskandariyah ET Algier Al-6azäyir I DZ Allenstein Olsztyn PL Alsen Als DK Altkastilien Castilla la Vieja E Altvatergebirge,see Hohes Gesenke Anatolien Anadolu TR Andalusien Andalucia E Andamanen Andaman Islands IND Anden.

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 kraam@amu.edu.pl 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
    International Journal Int. J. Hyg. Environ. 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.

Medvedeva, 2008, published in Fizika Zemli, 2008, No. 9, pp. 3–19. Estimation of Seismic Hazard in the Kaliningrad Region V. I. Ulomov, K. N. Akatova, and N. S. Medvedeva Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth (IPE), Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), Bol’shaya Gruzinskaya ul. 10, Moscow, 123995 Russia e-mail: ulomov@ifz.ru Received December 17, 2007 Abstract—The paper discusses problems of seismic zoning of the Kaliningrad region, where a series of per- ceptible earthquakes occurred in 2004; the strongest event had a magnitude of Ms = 4.3 and produced shakings of an intensity of 6 in the coastal zone of the Sambiiskii Peninsula, classified as a 5-intensity zone. The enhanced seismic effect is shown to be caused by bad ground conditions, long-term action of seismic effects, resonance phenomena, and other factors. To gain additional constraints on the seismic hazard degree in the Kaliningrad region, the paper discusses an improved version of the model of earthquake sources underlying the compilation of normative maps of seismic zoning (OSR-97). Modified fragments of OSR-97 probability maps of the Kaliningrad region are constructed at different levels of probability that the seismic effect indicated in the maps will be exceeded over 50 yr. It is shown that additional seismological investigations should be con- ducted in this region. PACS numbers: 91.30.Px DOI: 10.1134/S1069351308090012 1.

Factual information correct at March 2003. © Council of Europe, 2003 Foreword Walter Schwimmer Secretary General of the Council of Europe Kaliningrad, the city and the Oblast, are these days receiving a lot of attention from international circles. The Russian Federation has been actively raising the awareness of European institutions about the peculiar situation of the region, separated by mainland Russia and surrounded by land by two countries, Lithuania and Poland, soon-to- become members of the European Union. The perspective of the enlargement of the European Union to the Russia‘s exclave immediate neighbours is raising fears that the isolation of the Oblast would deepen and its economic and social backwardness worsen. The Council of Europe has responded to these legitimate preoccupation by taking recently several initiatives. In 2002, the Parliamentary Assembly held a thorough debate which led to the adoption of Recommendation 1579 on the Enlargement of the European Union and the Kaliningrad Region.

  • Challenges and Opportunities for Kaliningrad in an Enlarged Europe
    Challenges and Opportunities for Kaliningrad in an Enlarged Europe Vladimir Yegorov Remarks at a Conference “Building Wider Europe” Vilnius, 30th November 2002 I would like to thank the convenors of this Conference and its participants for the presented opportunity to take part at this event and make a report. I think that within the framework of the European integration, the situation of the Kaliningrad oblast is undergoing a cardinal change, and before long we will find ourselves fully surrounded by states that enter into the European Union, states that are included into the area of NATO, the Euro zone and the Schengen area. In the Russian-EU Summit in Brussels, the Kaliningrad compromise, as it was perhaps rightly named by Mr Ciosek, was found, and this compromise is able to meet today the requirements of all the interested parties. I am noting this with a particular satisfaction as I personally attended this Summit. Together with the President of the Republic of Lithuania Mr Adamkus, we yesterday analysed all the aspects of implementing the Joint EU-Russian Statement and came to the conclusion that for the present time this is the most promising document. The more so, that consultations between Lithuania and Russia have starred, and it is an extremely vigorous start, as it will he necessary to transform all of the 15 provisions of this Joint Statement into technical regulations in order to implement the idea of this compromise document. I must say that it is not only the transit issue that poses problems for the Kaliningrad oblast. The participants of this Conference are well aware of the fact that only a decade ago the Kaliningrad oblast was a closed area where no foreigners were allowed to enter, the port was closed for foreign ships, and even the citizens of the Soviet Union were not able to visit such regions as Baltysk without previously obtaining an invitation, then their documents had to be processed by the Department of Internal Affairs of their place of residence, and only afterwards they could start planning their trip to Kaliningrad.
