It says the name in German is Wolodymyr. But this is exactly the transkription of the Ukrainian name, so nothing new or different.

But the town had a German name (although seldom used), and this was Wladimir-Wolynsk (Wolinsk).

To say Wolodymyr is the German name is like saying Moskwa is the German name of Moscow; in fact it is called Moskau in Germany.--Wanfried-Dublin (talk) 08:41, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
