German toponyms (Upper Silesia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of German language place names (toponyms) for the region of Upper Silesia. Upper Silesia today is in the Opole Voivodeship and the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland.

Most of those are not originally German, but rather Germanized Polish names, which are made up of words that have meanings in one language but not in the other. These names have been in use for between 450 and 6 years, depending on the city.
