German Czech names

German/Czech​​ town and village​​ names

NOTE:​​ The district of​​ Landskron​​ /Lanškroun had both German and Czech inhabitants. ​​ Both the Czechs and the Germans had a name in their own language for each village and town. ​​ Some names are quite similar: ​​ Landskron​​ and​​ Lanškroun. ​​ Some are not similar at all: ​​ Ober Johnsdorf​​ and​​ Horní Třešnovec. ​​ When you research your family history you need to know both names for the towns and villages.
