German place names

mecklenburg-l

Hi.

This covers more than Mecklenburg, but it's a general question so I hope it applies.

I am collecting names for a one-name study from the Int'l Genealogical Index from the LDS. I have a whole list of places given as a list of place names with no explanation of which is a city, which is a parish, etc. Can you please help me figure out how to organize these?

Warnkenhagen Schlieffenberg, , Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany

Here I assume that "Germany" is artificial. There is a place missing. Is Warnkenhagen Schlieffenberg a single name or does it name two entities? Is either of them a parish or city? Can you please tell me what the name of each item of these entities is (in English, please)?

Here are more:
Greifenberg, Pommern, Preussen
Lueder, Uelzen, Hannover, Preussen
Lueden,Badenteich, , Hannover, Preussen
Nettelkamp, Uelzen, Hannover, Preussen
Evangelisch, Hausberge, Westfalen, Preussen
  is Evangelisch as specific as a church, or is it a parish?
Moltenow, , Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany
Sankt Stephani Evangelisch, Vlotho, Westfalen, Preussen

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,

We probably deal with the above 3 places only with two:

Lueder and L�den = should be the livingplace 29394 L�der, the next names stand
vor always greater administartional regions. Amt, Country, Kingdom. Badenteich
will be written right "Bodenteich". The boundaries of the "Amt" often changed, so
L�der could have belonged at some time to this , then again to the other. There
is no similar second place-name to L�der, but a nearby Neu-L�der.
Nettelkamp again is the living-place, Uelzen as the nearest town and capital of
the region the place of governance that "Amt", lateron named "Kreis or Landkreis"
and hannover the country in which this Amt or Kreis Uelzen are situated and
Hannover, equal of Kingdom or Land, later called Lower-Saxony-Region, was part of
Prussia.

That`s a short cut of the whole sometimes difficult history of boundary changes,
concerning the Uelzen area.

Dear Barbara,

Warnkenhagen and Schlieffenberg are two little villages in the area between
the Towns Guestrow and Teterow in the former duchy Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The
villages are about 2 miles apart of each other.
