Examples Breisgau m: Names in bold letters are well known geographical names. They are recorded on the map and are surrounded by a configuration line. These names are recommended for maps at scales up to 1: 500 000, if space is available for placing the name at the correct site and if possible not overstepping the area of extension. Bitgau m s. Bitburger Land: Names which are also existing and which are used more or less synonymously. Sometimes, it is difficult to decide which name is more common than the other. (Oberledingen n *2*) s. Overledingen Names between brackets are not recommended for usage because of antiquated spelling, different meaning, or other reasons. ,m/ 59” T-his. @VWthe-- gagap!ilW’ co*tinates and means 7 de-grees-eastern longitude and 51 degrees northern latitude. Abbreviations The grammatical gender of geographical names (” de?‘, “die”, “das”) is shown by : m masculine f feminine n . neuter -3- Mz indicates the plural. The gender is not mentioned, for the German plural article “die” is the same for all genders. s. see ic1 * In topographical maps the combined form-of the article plus geographical name is preferred, e.g. Das Gau. * 2 * The article is only used together with an adjective. This concerns all islands and some other geographical names, e.g. Das reizvolle Schwansen. * 3 + A dialectic connection with a preposition is customary and therefore used on topographical maps, e.g. Auf den Waldern. +4 + Besides the standard German spelling in words ending with -er, there exists a shorter spelling which is more regionally used, e.g. Dresdener Heide, Dresdner Heide. * 5 * In topographical maps a combined form of the specific article plus geographical name is used every time, e.g. Der Werder. * 6 * Besides the geographical name a place name is existing which was officially created during the time of a new organisation of the smaller communities, mainly dur.ing the 70’5, e.g. Saterland. * 7 * This name covers a large area which is not shown on the above-mentioned map for avoiding confusion with other configuration lines. But these areas are included in the outline.map at the left fringe of the sheet, e.g. Rheinisches Schiefergebirge. * 8 * A grammatical comment for this name is given in the book of Herbert LIEDTKE: Namen und Abgrenzungen von Landschaften in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.-Trier 1994. * 9 * Geographical areas (Landschaften) which by natural or historical reasons are spreading over the boundary of Germany, e.g. das Oderbruch.
