Pomeranian (Western) Balts

Pomeranian (Western) Balts

The Pomeranian (Western) Balts were Baltic tribes who lived between the Jutland peninsula in the west and the Vistula river in the east. They were partly pushed, assimilated, and surrounded by Germanic tribes advancing to the east from 1500 BC to the 1st century AD. When the Germanic tribes left this territory in the 1st to 5th centuries AD during the Migration Period, some Pomeranian Balts remained behind. These tribes integrated with Slavic tribes (arrived to Pomerania from the 6th century AD), forming Kashubians and other Pomeranian groups.
