B.104 Damm and B.106 Twente

[Larry deZeng]

There are 11 place names “Damm” in Germany, plus 1 forest by that name and 1 lake by that name, according to the digital atlas “Vector Globe”, which lists and displays over 3,000,000 place names:

1. Damm: 36 km ESE of Frankfurt/M.
2. Damm: 31.6 km SE of Schwerin.
3. Damm: suburb 3.5 km NE of Mönchengladbach.
4. Damm: village 6.7 km NE of Kiel.
5. Damm: tiny village 10.9 km ESE of Mönchengladbach.
6. Damm: tiny village 8.1 km SSE of Rostock.
7. Damm: tiny village 46.6 km ESE of Rostock.
8. Damm: tiny village 57.6 km SSE of Berlin.
9. Damm: village 62 km SSW of Berlin.
10. Damm: tiny village 26.2 km ENE of Bonn.
11. Damm: tiny village 16.2 N of Giessen.
12. Damm Wald (Woods): 22.8 km SSE of Lübeck.
13. Damm See (Lake): 63 km NE of Berlin.


However, the coordinates provided by Henk W. (5141N – 0650E) places Damm along Highway 58 11.4 km east of Wesel, and indeed there is a tiny village there by that name, evidently so tiny that it does not appear on most maps including digital maps.

So Henk’s find must be the one since the others listed above do not seen to fit.
