(Redirected from East Pomerania)

Eastern Pomerania can refer to distinct parts of Pomerania:

Terminology

[edit]

The term "West Pomerania" is ambiguous, since it may refer to either Hither Pomerania (in German usage and historical usage based on German terminology[1]), to both Hither and Farther Pomerania combined, or to the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (in Polish usage).

The term "East Pomerania" may similarly carry different meanings, referring either to Farther Pomerania (in German usage and historical usage based on German terminology[1]), to Pomerelia, or to the Pomeranian Voivodeship (in Polish usage).
