By which geographic names has Mecklenburg been known and what are its LDS Library reference place names?
The old Pomerania (Pommern), which was made up of Stettin and the land east of the Oder River, is presently in Poland. Vorpommern (Western Pomerania) was part of Sweden from 1648 until 1720 when it was annexed by Prussia, and again annexed in 1815 by means of the German Confederation after Napoleon’s defeat. Mecklenburg, west of Vorpommern, was a duchy as early as 1348 but was divided into two grand duchies in the 17th centuries: Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz. From 1947 to 1952 they were combined with Vorpommern as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in East Germany. Since 1990 Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has been one of the sixteen states in the Federal Republic of Germany. The reference place names are Germany, Mecklenburg and Germany, Mecklenburg, Vorpommern.
