Two historical documents from the 11th and 12th centuries and their onomastic problems for historical and linguistic researches. The paper presents documents about an agreement between the famous bishop Benno of Meißen and a single noble slave named Bor. Some villages near the Elbe River were exchanged in the western territory not far from Dresden. Up till now a convincing localization of some of them is missing. And it is unusual that five villages are named with nine different names. Therefore the article treats some questions with consideration of historical and ecclesiastical connections. The results of an interdisciplinary analysis try to show the progress of Christianizing in the 11th century as well as the foundation of new villages in the 12th century. And a consequence of this development was that the majority of German speakers used new names for old and meanwhile enlarged settlement.
