Reference excerpt

Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon des Deutschen Reiches (English: Meyer's Local- and Traffic-Dictionary of the German Empire) was an exhaustive gazetteer of the German Reich, published in a total of six editions by the Bibliographisches Institut. It provides a brief information about almost every place in the Reich, down to factories and clusters of houseswith detailed information on the municipalities in which the places' resident registration office and parish registers would be found. The fifth edition of 1912, microfilmed for the Genealogical Society of Utah, has been digitized and published on the Internet in English translation as Meyers Gazetteer. The sixth and last edition appeared in 1935, and is also available online in German.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon

In research: Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Gazetteers, German encyclopedias, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Meyers Orts- und Verkehrslexikon outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
