Map Locations
Since the Schwenkfelders
came from Silesia, Germany, we are familiar with the names of towns in
German. However, when the Polish took over that portion of Germany, the
names of the towns as we knew them were changed over to Polish names.
Otherwise, full-sized maps of Middle Silesia area of
Poland and Czech Republic with Lower Silesia are available at the
Schwenkfelder Library and Heritage Center.
Below is a partial list of the German names with the
present Polish names next to them.
