Summary

Description - Beschreibung

DescriptionMaas memel etsch belt.svg	English: The German national anthem Deutschlandlied was written in 1841, giving four water bodies as borders of the German language Sprachraum of the time "Von der Maas bis an die Memel, von der Etsch bis an den Belt". This maps outlines them, and the border of the German Confederation of the time. Deutsch: "Von der Maas bis an die Memel, von der Etsch bis an den Belt", die 4 "Grenzen" aus dem Deutschlandlied im geographisch-historischen Kontext von 1841: Die Grenzen wurden der Karte auf der Seite Deutscher Bund entnommen und auf den Zustand 1841 vereinfacht. Die Sprachverteilung wurde stark vereinfacht aus einer Karte der Seite Deutsche Sprache entnommen und gibt den Zustand von 1910 wieder, der sich aber vermutlich nicht so stark von 1841 unterscheidet. Sie soll nur grobe Zusammenhänge zwischen damaliger Sprachverteilung zu den damaligen Grenzen aufzeigen.

	01:00, 22 July 2017	1,301 × 1,201 (652 KB)	AKAKIOS	Removed the Dutch speaking area and left only the Dutch/Low Frankish dialects in modern Germany. To add the Netherlands and Flanders to this map is inaccurate, both in its contemporary and historical context.

	23:53, 11 August 2014	1,625 × 1,500 (57 KB)	Correctomundo~commonswiki	Removed Dutch and Standard Dutch influenced dialects. These are not German dialects, even though there historically was a continuum.
