Farther Pomerania, Further Pomerania, Transpomerania or Eastern Pomerania (German: Hinterpommern, Ostpommern), is the part of Pomerania which comprised the eastern part of the Duchy and later Province of Pomerania. It stretched roughly from the Oder River in the West to Pomerelia in the East.
In the post-1945 era, Farther Pomerania was affected by the Polish-German border shift. Before, it happened to be the Eastern part of German Pomerania ( Pommern, consisting of Hither and Farther Pomerania), yet thereafter it became the Western part of Polish Pomerania ( Pomorze, consisting of Pomerania and Pomerelia).
Most of Pomerania went to Poland after World War II, but Western Pomerania, along with Mecklenburg, became part of Soviet-occupied Germany and then part of Soviet-dominated East Germany.
