Meiningenstrom
The Meiningenstrom is a waterway in Northern Western Pomerania.
location
The Meiningenstrom connects the Zingster Strom with the Bodstedter Bodden . At the narrowest point it is crossed by the Meiningen Bridge with the Darß Railway , which has been closed for decades ; the bridge was used for road traffic from 1965 to 2012. For shipping on the Meiningenstrom, the bridge structure was equipped with a swing bridge , which enabled passage on the waterway . Since 2012, road traffic has been directed a little further east over a new temporary bridge over the Meinigenstrom.
Surname
Renate Herrmann-Winter wrote about the name of the Meiningen and its bridge : “ Meiningen gave its name to the bridge. It is possible that the name of the water is a Dutch-Frisian import or an analogy of the ing suffix, which was still very productive in the 15th century and later for place names and field names. The first word member of the basic word could - as in the Dutch names of waters Minnewater, Minne or Minstrom - belong to the old Germanic -manni, water 'from Latin manare, flow', which was diphthongized to egg in New High German.
