'''Farther Pomerania''', '''Hinder Pomerania''', '''Rear Pomerania''' or '''Eastern Pomerania''' ({{langx|pl|Pomorze Tylne}}; {{langx|de|Hinterpommern, Ostpommern}}), is a subregion of the historic region of ] in north-western ], mostly within the ], while its easternmost parts are within the ].


'''Farther Pomerania''' or '''Further Pomerania''' ({{lang-de|Hinterpommern}}; {{lang-pl|Pomorze Zachodnie}}) is a ]n region roughly stretching from the ] in the West to ] in the East. The region corresponds with the eastern part of the pre-] ]n ], yet today it is not an administrative, but a historical region within the ] and ]s. It is the part of Pomerania which comprised the eastern part of the ] and later ]. It stretched roughly from the ] in the West to ] in the East. The ] term ''Pomorze Zachodnie'' ("Western Pomerania") is colloquially used in contemporary Poland as a synonym for the West Pomeranian Voivodship whose borders do not match the historical ones; in Polish historical usage, it applied to all areas west of ] (i.e. to the entire narrow ]).
]s (identified as Lordship of Lauenburg and Lordship of Buto, respectively, western border marked in red).]]


Farther Pomerania emerged as a subdivision of the ] in ], then known as ''Pomerania-Stettin'' (Szczecin) and already including the historical regions ] (Kamień), ] (Nowogard), ], and with ties to the ]. After the ], Farther Pomerania became the ]n ]. After the reorganization of the ] ] in 1815, Farther Pomerania was administered as ] ] (Koszalin). In 1938, northern part of the dissolved ] was merged in.
== Terminology ==


After Germany's defeat in ], the region became again part of Poland. The German population was ] in accordance with the ] and replaced with Polish citizens, many of whom were ] as well.
''Farther Pomerania'' is the rough English translation of German ''Hinterpommern'', which is literally ''behind'' or ''rear Pomerania''. Initially, the term meant areas east of ("behind") ] and was gradually adopted for areas east of Stettin in the 1500s. When the 1648 ] and the ] divided the ] into its Western, ] and Eastern ]ian parts, ''Farther Pomerania'' was used for the latter - in opposition to ] (''Vorpommern'') now including Stettin (]) and a strip of land east of the Oder River. As this Swedish-Prussian border shifted west several times afterwards, the Oder River was considered the western edge of Farther Pomerania. To the Southeast and East, Farther Pomerania has no distinct border to the Pomerelian region, as the administrative borders between the duchy and later province of Pomerania and its neighbors varied significant over time. In the post-1945 era, Farther Pomerania was affected by the ]. Before, it happened to be the Eastern part of German Pomerania (''Pommern'', consisting of Hither and Farther Pomerania), yet thereafter it became the Western part of Polish Pomerania (''Pomorze'', consisting of Farther Pomerania and Pomerelia). As Polish ''Pomorze'' has also been in use for Pomerelia, Farther Pomerania is termed ''Western Pomerania'' in Poland and roughly represented in today's ], including Szczecin ''(Stettin)'' and ] ''(Wollin)''. However, this term is not being adopted by the Germans, as the German part of Pomerania (Hither Pomerania) is considered to be Western Pomerania, so ''Farther Pomerania'' is still in use.


Before 1999, the ] (1945–1998) and its spin-offs ] (1950–1998) and ] (1975–1998) roughly resembled the area of former Farther Pomerania. The ] and ]s were merged in 1999 and now constitute the ], while ] was merged into the ].

After the ] tribes had left during the ], ''Farther Pomerania'' and '']'' became the settlement area of ] tribes known as ]. By 992 AD some of the Pomeranians' territory was conquered by ], who established a bishopric in ] that was destroyed only a decade later in a pagan uprising to regain Pomerania's independence. A note in a papal abbey in the 1080s mentiones that lands were gifted in 992 by Mieszko I to the pope (referred to as ], or (according to other sources) to sons of Mieszko I and ]. After a result of military campaigns from 1102 to 1121, all areas of Pomerania were conquered by ]. The eastern parts of Farther Pomerania, the ] ruled by ] ], and the western parts ruled by Griffin duke ] became Polish vassals. Wartislaw I was able to conquer large territories of ] tribes in the West, the stock of the later ''Hither Pomerania'', and by inviting the missionary ] managed to Christianize the formerly pagan Pomeranian and Liutizian inhabitants of his realm.
Initially, Farther Pomerania referred to the areas beyond (i.e. lying east of) ], and the name eventually became adopted for areas east of Szczecin by the 16th century. When the 1648 ] and the ] divided the ] into its Western, ] and Eastern ] parts, ''Farther Pomerania'' was used for the latter - in opposition to ] (''Vorpommern'') including ''Stettin'' (]), ''Wollin'' (]) and a strip of land east of the Oder River, ultimately limited to include two suburbs of Szczecin, namely the towns of ''Gollnow'' (]) and ''Damm/Alt-Damm/Altdamm'' (]). To the East, Farther Pomerania stretches to the border with Pomerelia, considered by the Polish historiography to be located on the river ].


In the post-1945 era, Farther Pomerania was affected by the ]. Before, it happened to be the Eastern part of German Pomerania (''Pommern'', consisting of Hither and Farther Pomerania), yet thereafter it became the Western part of Polish Pomerania (''Pomorze'', consisting of Pomerania and Pomerelia). As Polish ''Pomorze'' has also been in use for Pomerelia, while Hither and Farther Pomerania are jointly referred to as ''West Pomerania'' (''Pomorze Zachodnie'') in Poland, located predominantly in today's ], including Szczecin and ]. However, this term is not being adopted by the Germans, as only Hither Pomerania is considered to be Western Pomerania, so ''Farther Pomerania'' is still in use.
Wartislaw I is the first non-legendary member of the ] dynasty that ruled Farther Pomerania until 1637, when the last Duke of Pomerania died without descendants. The Grffins joined the ] after the 1164 ]. In 1181 the Duchy of Pomerania became a fief of the ], then ruled by Frederic ], and the Pomeranian Dukes became German princes (''Landesfürsten''). In 1231 the Duchy of Pomerania became a fief of Brandenburg. In the course of the German ], Farther Pomerania was settled with Germans. German law, culture and language was introduced. In contrast to Hither Pomerania, there still were substantial Slavic Pomeranian populations after this period in the East, that kept Slavic tongue and customs and became known as ] (Lutheran) and ] (Roman-Catholic). In 1534 the Dukes of Pomerania joined ] influenced by ] and Pomerania became a ] state. Pomeranian Dukes managed lands on both sides of the ] river and therefore in different history periods territories were vassal's or real estate of:

Farther Pomerania, Hinder Pomerania, Rear Pomerania or Eastern Pomerania (Polish: Pomorze Tylne; German: Hinterpommern, Ostpommern), is a subregion of the historic region of Pomerania in north-western Poland, mostly within the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, while its easternmost parts are within the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

It is the part of Pomerania which comprised the eastern part of the Duchy and later Province of Pomerania. It stretched roughly from the Oder River in the West to Pomerelia in the East. The Polish term Pomorze Zachodnie ("Western Pomerania") is colloquially used in contemporary Poland as a synonym for the West Pomeranian Voivodship whose borders do not match the historical ones; in Polish historical usage, it applied to all areas west of Pomerelia (i.e. to the entire narrow Pomerania).

Map of Farther Pomerania of 1801, on the r. h. s. the Lauenburg and Bütow Lands (identified as Lordship of Lauenburg and Lordship of Buto, respectively, western border marked in red).

Farther Pomerania emerged as a subdivision of the Duchy of Pomerania in the partition of 1532, then known as Pomerania-Stettin (Szczecin) and already including the historical regions Principality of Cammin (Kamień), County of Naugard (Nowogard), Land of Słupsk-Sławno, and with ties to the Lębork and Bytów Land. After the Brandenburg-Swedish partition of Pomerania, Farther Pomerania became the Brandenburg-Prussian Province of Pomerania (1653–1815). After the reorganization of the Prussian Province of Pomerania in 1815, Farther Pomerania was administered as Regierungsbezirk Köslin (Koszalin). In 1938, northern part of the dissolved Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia was merged in.

After Germany's defeat in World War II, the region became again part of Poland. The German population was expelled in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement and replaced with Polish citizens, many of whom were expellees themselves as well.

Before 1999, the Szczecin Voivodeship (1945–1998) and its spin-offs Koszalin Voivodeship (1950–1998) and Słupsk Voivodeship (1975–1998) roughly resembled the area of former Farther Pomerania. The Szczecin and Koszalin Voivodeships were merged in 1999 and now constitute the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, while Słupsk Voivodeship was merged into the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Origin and use of the term

Further information: Western Pomerania (disambiguation) and Eastern Pomerania (disambiguation)

Terminology

The German prefix Hinter- (cf. hinterland) denotes a location more distant from the speaker, and is the equivalent of "Hinder"/"Rear"/"Farther" in English and Posterior/Ulterior/Trans- in Latin (with the corresponding antonyms in German, English and Latin being Vor-, "Fore"/"Front"/"Hither" and Anterior/Citerior/Cis-, respectively).

The toponym Pomerania comes from Slavic po more, which means Land at the Sea. Initially, Farther Pomerania referred to the areas beyond (i.e. lying east of) Pomerania-Wolgast, and the name eventually became adopted for areas east of Szczecin by the 16th century. When the 1648 Peace of Westphalia and the Treaty of Stettin (1653) divided the Duchy of Pomerania into its Western, Swedish and Eastern Brandenburgian parts, Farther Pomerania was used for the latter - in opposition to Swedish Hither Pomerania (Vorpommern) including Stettin (Szczecin), Wollin (Wolin) and a strip of land east of the Oder River, ultimately limited to include two suburbs of Szczecin, namely the towns of Gollnow (Goleniów) and Damm/Alt-Damm/Altdamm (Dąbie). To the East, Farther Pomerania stretches to the border with Pomerelia, considered by the Polish historiography to be located on the river Łeba.

In the post-1945 era, Farther Pomerania was affected by the Polish-German border shift. Before, it happened to be the Eastern part of German Pomerania (Pommern, consisting of Hither and Farther Pomerania), yet thereafter it became the Western part of Polish Pomerania (Pomorze, consisting of Pomerania and Pomerelia). As Polish Pomorze has also been in use for Pomerelia, while Hither and Farther Pomerania are jointly referred to as West Pomerania (Pomorze Zachodnie) in Poland, located predominantly in today's West Pomeranian Voivodeship, including Szczecin and Wolin. However, this term is not being adopted by the Germans, as only Hither Pomerania is considered to be Western Pomerania, so Farther Pomerania is still in use.
