1. Rathmannsteich 2. Building of the Provost Explanation: Here you can find more information about Propsteigebaeude:http://www.ckrumlov.cz/de/region/histor/t_cirdej.htm. It can stand with or without the second part "Gebaeude" which simply means building. But without this second part it can also mean: (Amt) provostry; Propst=relig. provost; Rathmann is a proper name and should not be translated. Rathmannsteich is either the term for a lake named after a Rathmann or a street named after a Rathmann. In the northern part of Germany street names and towns have -teich as part of their proper names. Muret-Sanders, Internet |
