PomeraniaRegion along the southern shore of the Baltic Sea, including the island of Rügen, divided between Poland and (west of the Oder-Neisse line) East Germany 1945-90, and the Federal Republic of Germany after reunification in 1990. The chief port is Gdańsk. It was formerly a province of Germany. An independent Slavic duchy in the 11th century, Pomerania was taken by Poland in the 12th century and divided into the principalities of West Pomerania and East Pomerania (or Pomerelia). West Pomerania became part of the Holy Roman Empire, while East Pomerania remained part of Poland until 1772, when it was ceded to Prussia. How to thank TFD for its existence?
