''Kreisstraßen'' are usually the responsibility of the respective rural district (''Landkreis'') or urban district (''Kreisfreie Stadt''), with the exception of high streets through larger towns and villages. Kreisstraßen are usually dual-lane roads but, in a few cases, can be built as limited-access dual carriageways in densely populated areas. Numbering Unlike local roads (''Gemeindestraßen'') the ''Kreisstraßen'' are invariably numbered, but their numbering is not shown on signs. The abbreviation is a prefixed capital letter K followed by a serial number. In most states the car n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bavaria Slavica
Bavaria Slavica is a historiographic term used to denote the areas populated by West Slavic people (Wends) between the 6th and the 12th centuries in northeastern Bavaria. The Wends settled in Bavaria in several waves between the 6th and the 9th centuries and then in the 10th and the 11th centuries. The settlement of loyal West Slavic Wends and other minor tribes was favoured under Frankish Emperor Charlemagne. Later, the East Frankish Empire also settled largely-Christianized Wends in regions that were rural or unpopulated or threatened by uprisings. After the migration had ended, they were quickly assimilated by the local Franks, who had always continued to form the majority and by the Baiuvarii.

Slavs
Slavs are the largest European ethnolinguistic group. They speak the various Slavic languages, belonging to the larger Balto-Slavic branch of the Indo-European languages. Slavs are geographically distributed throughout northern Eurasia, mainly inhabiting Central and Eastern Europe, and the Balkans to the west; and Siberia to the east. A large Slavic minority is also scattered across the Baltic states and Central Asia, while a substantial Slavic diaspora is found throughout the Americas, as a result of immigration.
