Working Paper No. 18 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 Consequently, the terms “Pommer- /- ---- .- _ _ .--- I sche Bucht-“’ and “Stettiner Haff” are htiorically outdated and i L should be used only on historical maps and’ in ‘historical text: i : \ 750046/2 Gr. \A List of the geographical names on the Baltic Sea coast of the German Democratic Republic Name Definition/position Number of the nau- tical chart of Sf-iD . der DDR Achterwasser Bodden waters between Usedom. 1518 and the continent Arkona, , Prominent cape on the 162 Kap Arkona northern coast of Riigen Aue Channel southeast of Zingst i623 penihsula Barther Bodden Dodden waters between the con&- 1623 , nent and Zingst peninsula Ba,rther Bulge of Barther Bodden 1623 Strom northwest of Barth _ Bernstein- Sandbank partly- above sea-level 163 insel nort’heast of Darss Bock Washed-up sandbank partly above 1622 sea-level east of Zingst peninsula Bodstedter I Bodden southeast of Darss 1623 Dodden ’ Boltenhagen- Small bay in the western part o.f 164 z. ..-.-- bucht Wismarbuch t _~._-.--. ~~..--I,-- -- , Bottchergrund Shallow in the eastern part of 151.1 Greifswalder Bodden .
