Eastern Pomerania
Eastern Pomerania can refer to distinct parts of Pomerania:
- The historical region of Farther Pomerania, which was the eastern part of the Duchy, later Province of Pomerania
- The historical region of Pomerelia east of Farther Pomerania
- The Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland
Terminology[]
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]) or to combined Hither and Farther Pomerania or 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]), or to Pomerelia or the Pomeranian Voivodeship (in Polish usage).
