Concerning item 7 of the provisional agenda

List of exonyms of the German Democratic Republic

Prepared by the Surveying and Mapping ,Ydministration of the. . Ministrv of the Interior of- the German Democratic Reoublic

Introduction

Pursuant ‘to the definition of the term "exonyms" (tradi-

tional names),/of resolution No. 28 of the second United Nations

Conference on'the Standardization of Geographical Names and the

extended tasks according to resolutions fti 18 and 19 of the thirc

Conference, the regulations concerning tho determination of

exonyms have been reviewed in the German Democratic Republic.

The list is available in its revised form. The GDR has already

reduced the number of exonyms according to the above resolution:

It was felt that there shauld be*a general. accordance between -

the reduction of exonyms while safeguarding the national intett

:-es t s of the country on whose territory the geographical object

to be named is situated and the reduction of exonyms while

safeguarding the own interests. .I

As to the. snelling of the names of settlements, the general

use of the particular national names in the GCR is stipula,ted. ,

Exemptions are only made as far as the names of capitals of

states and some other names of important towns are concerned.

They E re ir!c.?;.cdod in t!7C list.

In this connection, the following forms are applicable:

- the national spelling, e.g. Praha,

- the national spelling and the German name in parentheses, e.g.

\’ 750046/2 Gr. \ ti r a h a (Prag), and in special small-scaled cartographic

products the German name only, e. g. Pra g.

The German spelling of names for physical-geographical objects ii

proceeds,. intef: alia, from the fact that .

a) in names which consist of a proper name and a generic term,

the generic term should be given in German, e. gF Kai

N a w a r i n (not mys Nawarin);

b) names consisting of an adje.ctive and a generic term should

be regarded as a unity and thus should not be partian! trans- #i

lated into German, e. g. R o c k y M 0 u n t a i n s (not

Rockygebirge);

c) proper names which are adjectives should be used as nouns

together with the German generic term, e. g. Momage-

b i r g e (not p‘iomski chrebet).

The follov;i g list ivcludes those geographical names which r 1, -._ 'can also be spelled in German or have also a spe'lling which

is i'n common use in international .trade and communication. The

list is classified as follo?Js: names for settlements, arms of

oceans,'lakes, rivers and canals, mountains, peaks and capes,

landscapes and peninsulas, islands.

The list dq,es not include any names of.states, meiber states,

federal states, republics of a union, international ocesans, arm

.- Ptf_oceans and undersea reliefs. . ___-.. _
