As examples of geographical entries of a 'region'  (see search criteria), you will find here a small selection of A - Z listings of the German regions:

• Kingdom of Bavaria
• Prov. Rheineland in the Kingdom of Prussia
• Prov. Schleswig-Holstein in the Kingdom of Prussia
• Prov. Eastern Prussia in the Kingdom of Prussia
• Prov. Westphalia in the Kingdom of Prussia

[A 'region' is defined as a 'political administrative unit', e.g. a state, or a subdivision of a state. Examples of 'regions' could be: The British Empire; the kingdom of Bavaria; a province in Prussia; a département in France; a state in the USA; a protectorate in Africa etc.]

Nota bene: 

• The entries in the Encyclopedia (CD) contain the geographical names (entry title) and the corresponding description.
• Here on the website, you will only find the geographical names (entry title) without the corresponding description.
  
   
• In the Encyclopedia (CD), the Eastern-European entries are shown with the corresponding Eastern-European characters.
• Here on the website, to facilitate the search, the Eastern-European characters have been replaced by the 'basic' (non-accented) characters (see table):

          
          Example: Čechy (Böhmen, Bohemia) becomes  Cechy (Böhmen); Łańcut becomes Lancut. 

• The letters in brackets, following the geographical name(s), represent the  'type' of the entry (see search criteria):

Types of entries (see the distribution of the different types) [B]Berg, Gebirge, Bergland.. (= Mountain(s) [G]Gewässer, Fluss, Bucht.. (= Water(s)) [I]Insel, Riff, Inselgruppe.. (= Island(s)) [J]Justizbezirk, Gerichtsbezirk.. (= Court District) [K]Kontinent, Erde (= Continent) [L]Landschaft.. (= Landscape) [O]Ort, Stadt, Dorf, Gut.. (= Locality, Place, Town) [P]Polit. Gebiet, Staat.. (= State) [V]Volk, Bevölkerungsgruppe.. (= People, Population groups) [W]Weg, Pass, Bahn.. (= "Way" Path, Rail )

• Example: Breslau [O] stands for the 'town of Breslau'; Breslau [P] stands for the 'Regierungsbezirk (governmental district) Breslau' as well as for the 'Landkreis (county district) Breslau' (both being described in the Encyclopedia separately): Breslau [J] stands for 'Gerichtsbezirk Breslau' (Amtsgericht, Landesgericht und Oberlandesgericht; all described separately).
• The Encyclopedia (CD) contains 292 localities (Orte = [O]) named 'Neudorf' (24 x Newcastle, 32 x Washington etc.) 
  
• Here on the website, we have replaced the 'duplicate names' (actually: individual villages!) by a single mentioning, e.g., instead of 'Washington [O], Washington [O], Washington [O] ...', you will find 'Washington [O]' only once, which stands for all localities called Washington (the localities Mount-Washington, Port-Washington etc. are listed in addition because they are 'Washingtons with further additions'). By doing so, we could reduce the volume of the given lists by about 20 %.

How  you can search:

• On the following pages (A - Z), the geographical names are sorted alphabetically. If you intend to look up whether, e.g., "Deutsch-Beneschau (Nemecky-Benesov)", is documented in the Hic Leones Encyclopedia (on CD), you will find this name on page B, as well as on pages D and N.
  
  
• Searching the entire Hic Leones Site is easily done by Site-Search.
