Summary/Abstract: Street names not only have a topographical-spatial orientation function, but also reflect history and are a political and cultural instrument. At the time of the National Socialist dictatorship street and place names were changed in Germany. Also in the cities of the occupated Poland many streets and squares were renamed during the Second World War. The present article aims to present how the streets and squares in Deutsch-Przemysl were named in World War II. An attempt is made to determine which renaming strategies can be observed in urban designations.
