RE: [Cz-L] street names

During the Romanian regime and first occupation period by the Soviets the
"Umgangsprache" was always German.
Even during the 2006 Reunion in Czernowitz I used the German plan of the
city (published before 1910). The official Ukrainian maps available on the
Internet are of a very bad resolution and useless in my view. For veteran
Czernowitzers touring the city's neighborhoods streets and alleys the German
map is very useful.

Subject: [Cz-L] street names

I remember Czernowitzer street names mainly in German to this day. I am
aware that in course of various ocupations these were re named in different
languages in rapid succession. The Russians on their second time re named
the streets again. A confusing methamorphosis, so for argument sake should
one re visit the place with a particular address in the future to try and
find a particular address from the past it would be non existent.
Another peculiarity of ethnic cleansing.
