Deutsches Gewässernamenbuch: Etymologie der Gewässernamen und der zugehörigen Gebiets-, Siedlungs- und Flurnamen

Water names carry specific evidence of linguistic history. The German Book of Water Names concentrates academic insight on German names of lakes and rivers and associated place names, and for the first time, makes available in a single reference work the findings of the past 60 years of linguistic geographical research. It presents water names in Germany and water names in neighboring countries attributable to the German language.
