Łódź Urbanonyms during Loss of Independence by Poland
Abstract
The article discusses urban place names in Łódź in three historical period when
Poland was not independent: during the partitions, the First World War, and the Second
World War. The analysis focused on ways of German and Russian intervention into
urban place naming in Łódź. It describes naming techniques (translations of Polish
names, adaptations to foreign phonetic and writing systems, renaming) and the goals
of foreign intervention into Polish place naming. The conclusion is that Russian and
German interventions during the partitions and the first world war were mainly aimed
at cultural assimilation, and consisted in use of Russified and Germanized forms. During
the Second World War, on the other hand, Germans were consistently instilling
elements of Nazi-German culture and history in place names.
