Which Mühlhausen?
[edit]According to the Młynary article, it is that town now in Poland that was called "Mühlhausen in Ostpreußen". —Angr 17:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
- Two different towns. In fact I think Młynary was formerly West Prussia, but I'm not sure about that. There are several towns in Germany called Mühlhausen (disambiguation) even today. Thank's for Your help. HerkusMonte (talk) 17:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
- No, I checked my 1939 atlas and Mühlhausen = Młynary is definitely in East Prussia (but western East Prussia!). Mühlhausen = Gvadeyskoye isn't in the atlas; it was probably too small. It probably wasn't called Mühlhausen in Ostpreußen but something else, like Mühlhausen bei Preußisch Eylau or some other nearby town. —Angr 18:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Does the atlas explicitely say it's East Prussia? Elbing e.g. was in West Prussia, but most people think, every town east of the Polish Corridor was an East Prussian town. Parts of West Prussia were incorporated to East Prussia as Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder. Młynary is in the Elblag district, so I think it was part of West Prussia, but I'll try to find something more about it. HerkusMonte (talk) 19:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
- I'm wrong, Młynary was part of the Pr. Holland (Paslek) district and that's East Prussia. So two different Mühlhausen existed. HerkusMonte (talk) 07:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Naming
[edit]Isn't it rather Gva r deyskoye, the name derives from "Guard" similar to Gvardeysk and Google gives for Gvadeyskoye only a single page, this one. HerkusMonte (talk) 15:26, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
