Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze sound adaptation of Polish proper names with intervocalic consonant clusters which in terms of phonotactic structure do not exist in standard German. At the beginning, the author presents a theoretical approach to the issue from the point of view of syllabic phonology and phonotactic constraints. Using the example of the Biebrza hydronym, the author then shows discrepancies between theory, German pronunciation dictionaries and speech reality in German public mass media.
