New Stettin, Germany

Historical place· 1945 region pl 53.708, 16.699

Renamed Szczecinek, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

'New Stettin' = Neustettin, Regierungsbezirk Koslin, Pommern (distinct from Stettin itself, 145km away). Row's own citation (Meyers Vol.2 p.301) already confirms this and that the stored pin (53.7078/16.6992) matches Wikidata Q848999 (modern Szczecinek) almost exactly. The row's aliasNames '(now Szczecin...)' is a separate, likely-mistaken earlier edit (Szczecin is a different, larger city) -- flagged for a human, not touched here.

'New Stettin' is Neustettin, in Regierungsbezirk Köslin - a different town from Stettin, 145 km east, and the stored pin had it at Stettin. Today Szczecinek, Poland. Coordinate from Wikidata Q848999; Meyers' 1912 point 53.7079/16.6994 agrees.
