Talk:Lubusz Land

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Article content

IMO, the content for this article does not seem well organized and should be spread over different articles. A good division to me would be: Lubus Land- history under Polish control (-1252, 1945-), Neumark (Region)/East Brandenburg- history under German control (1252-1945), Bishopric of Lebus- history of the bishopric. Anyone have any thoughts? Olessi 19:24, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good. IMO, keep Lubus Land and Neumark (region) separate because these regions coexisted in different areas at the same time. Ditch East Brandenburg and merge it into Neumark with a redirect and mention in the first line. Also keep Bishopric of Lebus info with Lubus Land.

Look here for a map showing both regions: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd/brandenburg_1320_1415.jpg

Look here for a map with the Bishopric outlined in faint dotted line: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd/central_europe_1477.jpg

Maybe mention should be made of Neumark along with Lubus Land in the Lubuskie Voivodship article.

I also wonder if this article (Lubus Land) shouldn't be renamed to Lebus Land. I'm not sure where this form came from -- it's not German (Lebus) or Polish (Lubusz). Lebus Land is usually the term in the few English references out there (incl. maps above) and the town (Lebus) for which it is named is still in Germany.

I would say that most of the information in "Lubusz Land" would be better at "Bishopric of Lebus". The diocese is referred to more often in English than the Lubusz Land. I am in the process of translating the German article of Neumark and should be posting that in a day or two. Olessi 17:09, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
