How to use the historical gazetteer

The gazetteer links current municipality names with their Czech, German, Polish, Slovak, and Latin variants. It helps identify locations found in registers, chronicles, maps, and other historical sources. The data is based on Wikidata and should be verified against contemporary and archival context before scholarly use.

Enter a place name, optionally select a country, and apply the filters.
