Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an attempt of reconstructing the full, original structure of fragments of the Pomeranian Position in its final form from spring 1945, based on available materials and field works. This position in the cultural landscape of Pomerania has a special historical and landscape value due to the close relationship between the course of the Pommernstellung and physiographic conditions and the variety of identifiable relics.
