Street names have not only the function of a topographical-spatial orientation but they also reflect the history and are a cultural and political instrument. At the time of the National Socialist dictatorship, street names were changed in Germany. Also in the cities of Poland, in the Second World War many streets and squares were renamed. The aim of this paper is to examine and describe the change of urban names in Białystok in the years 1939-1944, when Poland was under German occupation. A strong influence of the German language is apparent in German designations and more or less successful translations of Polish hodonyms. Nevertheless, some place and street designations still show their Polish origin. The paper discusses the extent of German influence on the official language of city plans and the ways in which the Polish streets were renamed. Moreover, an attempt is being made to determine which trends can be observed in urban designations.

The aim of the present paper is to disscuss the elision of language sounds in loanwords transferred from German into Polish in the 20th century. Only those loanwords of German origin are examined whose time of transfer into Polish could be clearly indicated and whose etymology could be found.

Street names not only have a topographical-spatial orientation function, but also reflect history and are a political and cultural tool. At the time of the National Socialist dictatorship, street and place names were changed in Germany. Also in the cities of then occupied Poland many streets and squares were renamed during the Second World War. The article aims to present the manner in which streets and squares in Białystok were named during World War II. An attempt is made to determine which functions can be observed in “new” urban designations.
