Wonderful etymological #map of #Germany. Shows the original meaning of all major towns and regions. Lovely piece of work. Sadly only of interest for German speakers. Tag your German friends if you can't read the map :) Source: buff.ly/2C96GHK

🏘️ Warum enden so viele #Ortsnamen in Mitteldeutschland auf „-leben“?
📍 Besonders häufig sind sie in der Magdeburger Börde und im Thüringer Becken.
📜 Die Endung ist mit „Lehen“ verwandt: Land, das zum erblichen Besitz überlassen wurde. #SchonGewusst?
ALT Karte des Bundesamtes für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG) zur Verbreitung von Ortsnamen mit der Endung „-leben“ in Deutschland. Auf dunkelgrauem Hintergrund steht oben die Überschrift „Ortsnamen“ in weißer Schrift auf einem blauen Balken. Darunter folgt „die auf -leben enden“, wobei „-leben“ hellblau hervorgehoben ist. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine weiße Deutschlandkarte mit eingezeichneten Bundesländergrenzen. Kleine blaue Punkte markieren Orte mit der Endung „-leben“. Besonders auffällig ist die starke Häufung in der Magdeburger Börde und im Thüringer Becken. In den übrigen Regionen Deutschlands kommen solche Ortsnamen nur vereinzelt vor. Unten rechts befindet sich das weiße BKG-Logo.

Toponyms aren't neutral, they're media through which state power rewrites spatial genealogies.
New research examines Xi'an's Daming Palace and the erasure of "Daobei."
