Gaststättennamen in Leipzig - Kategorien der Benennung
No full textThe article deals with names of restaurants in Leipzig. First it becomes obvious that there are many more terms for such establishments: not only restaurant, also bar, café, bistro, and others. One part of the article explains the etymology of these terms. The second part contains a list with the kinds of naming. Mostly the restaurants are named in connection with their local situation (near a building, in a special street or part of the city, near or in a landscape ... ). Another big part of restaurants takes the name of persons. That can be the owner of the restaurant or a famous person (for example Johann Sebastian Bach). Another possibility to name the restaurant is the kind of food you can eat there (national or international food or special drinks). In Leipzig you also find names in Saxon dialect. To confirm the meaning of the names it was necessary to ask the owners and to visit the restaurants

Geographische Namen - ein Thema für Geographen
No full textThe author emphasizes that geonames are not a recent field pf research among German geographers. However, geographical names are very important for the perception and representation of geographic spaces. In Germany some names like \u27Odenwald\u27 and \u27Eifel\u27 are very old, others as \u27Pfälzerwald\u27 or ”Taunus\u27 were created in the 19th century. During the 20th century, physiogeographical divisions had been created in Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Austria. They are organized like hierarchical systems, they are very similar and compatible to one another. A high number of new geonames have been created by geographers and other specialists. Modern landscape divisions are very important contributions towards a worldwide standardization of geonames by order of the UNO. In Germany the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names (StAGN) is responsible for all questions concerning geographical names
