Polish terminology divides Pomerania into: Pomorze Zachodnie (Western Pomerania) and Pomorze Wschodnie or Pomorze Gda?skie (Gda?sk Pomerania). The former covers roughly the teritorries referred to in German as Vorpommern and Hinterpommern, the latter corresponds to Pommerellen. Under Polish administration a number of several different voivodships all using the name Pomerania have been established.
