Bemerkungen zur Problematik der baltischen Ortsnamen westlich der Weichsel
Remarks on the problem of the Baltic place names west of the Vistula

Summary/Abstract: The question of the boundaries of the area inhabited by the Balts remains the topic which brings the specialists of different areas, especially historians, linguists and archaeologists, into a discussion. The attempts to identify the exact borders of the non-existing Baltic tribes are only based on modest language testimonials of the nation and archaeological findings by interpreting and evaluating the abundance of scientific works related to them. The article aims at presenting original facts of onomastics, in other words, new oikonyms as well as new variants of the already discussed toponyms which can provide new information for the research related to the area inhabited by the Baltic nations westwards from the Vistula river.
