Editing Vineta (section)

===Vineta Reef off Koserow / Damerow===
Some variants of the myth have Vineta sunken off [[Koserow]] (on the isle of [[Usedom]]). The historian Wilhelm Ferdinand Gadebusch from [[Swinemünde]] (Świnoujście) made this and other observations the basis for his thesis of Vineta's location. According to Gadebusch, Wolin did not have the deep water port that Vineta must have had, and thus discarded the Wolin thesis (see below). [[David Chyträus]] in his 16th century ''Chronicon Saxoniae'' had Vineta "beyond the [[Peene]] river near the village of {{Interlanguage link multi|Damerow (Usedom)|de|3=Damerow (Usedom)|lt=Damerow}}"  which was a [[Folwark|Vorwerk]] of Koserow. For Chyträus, Usedom was the land of the Vinetans, while Julin on the neighboring island of [[Wolin]] was inhabited by Pomoranians. Since no traces of Slavic settlement have been found on northwest Usedom, this thesis is no longer accepted.
