German City Names
3.3: German City Names
German city names are based on many factors. Some of these factors include the origin of the German language, wars, and politics. An example of this was the name change of the East German city of Karl-Marx-Stadt. After the time when the Berlin Wall was torn down, it got its old name Chemnitz back. Common endings for towns and cities include “-stadt”, “-furt”, “-berg”, “-burg”, “-hausen”, “-ingen” and “-ow”.
When you travel around Germany, you will notice many cities and towns having a mixed background. This is true because of migration and the influence of other cultures. Some towns will have a Polish sounding name, or a French one. Perhaps some will even sound a little bit Ukrainian.
Below I have compiled a list of all the major cities in Germany. They are sorted by alphabetical order. If you are planning to travel to Germany this would be great to know. Please take a look over this chart. I am sure you will find the city you are looking for. Also remember, that Rocket German is a great program for people who want to travel to Germany.
