Ziel und Gestaltung eines slawischen Ortsnamenatlasses
The purpose and layout of a Slavic Place Name Atlas

Summary/Abstract: This study deals with problems of the typology of place names, the geography of place names as well as the stratigraphy of place names. They constitute the methodological basis for creating an atlas of place names. The entirety of the place names is divided into 7 sub-classes and into 21 types of place names. These can be assigned to specif¬ic time periods (strata). The latter will determine the sequence of maps in the atlas. The purpose of the atlas is to show not only the geographical distribution of place names, but also to provide historical cognizance, particularly with regard to the his¬tory of settlements.
