Ortsnamenwechsel im Raum Fulda

The essay deals with place name changes in the area Fulda. Although place and water names have a high degree of antiquity and continuity, names are changeable as linguistic entities. After an overview of the positions and observations on this phenomenon, represented by Wilhelm Arnold, Adolf Bach and Rudolf Schützeichel, as well as the impulses of the 1986 Bamberger Symposion on the subject of “place name change”, the term “name change” and its definitional blurring become first of all different types treated by “toponymic variation”. Finally, concrete examples from the Fulda area will be discussed and systematized.
