Я начебто знав, що були полабські слов'яни, але я ніколи не задумувася над тим, що слов'яни займали всю Східню Німеччину. Фактично весь правий берег Лаби (Ельби) починаючи з шостого століття. слов'янське королівство Рана (найбільший німецький острів Рюґен) існувало взагалі до 15 чи 16 століття. До речі, можливо, що Рюрік походить звідти. Є така гіпотеза, що у словеньського князя Гостомисла померло чотири сина, лишилися тільки доньки, одна з яких вийшла заміж за рюґенського короля. Один з її синів був Рюрік, який зайняв дідів стіл у Ладозі, пізіше у Новгороді. Одна з гіпотез є та що Вадим Хоробрий був теж онуком Гостомисла. Що до скандінавських імен, то скандінавці й приморські слов'яни були досить перемішані. Слов'яни теж нападали на скандинавські території і у Швеції є навіть пару міст заснованих слов'янськми "варягами".

Але повернімося до Східної Німеччини. Найбільшими містами Східної Німеччини є Берлін, Дрезден, Лейпціґ, Любек та Шверін.

Виявляється, що Берлін був заснований полабськими слов'янами й справжня назва Берліну є Бероліна, Лейпціґ є Ліпськ (від слова "липа" - порівняйте з російським Ліпєцк), Любек - Любечем, Дрезден - Дрездени або Дреждени (що лужицькою мовою значить "болотяни"). Шверін є слов'янською назвою місцевості "Zuerin" - "Зверін" - "звірячий" (на час коли слов'яни почали заселяти місцевість вона була дикою з густими лісами та з багатьма дикими звірами), хоча засноване місто було Генрі Левом, але побудований коло слов'янської фортреці в 12столітті. Фортреця й пам'ятник слов'янському королю ободритів й досі є там.

Німці, до речі, зовсім не приховують слов'янської історії східної Німеччини. Є багато реконструкції слов'янскиї поганських храмів та капищ, слов'янських поселень.
