As the Germans occupied Latvia (1941-1944/45) all street names were converted into German. This translation is based on former german translation. Thus it is very heavy to assign street names at that time to the today’s names or backwards.
I own a city plan of Riga from the year 1925 and a street guide German-Latvian, Latvian -German. This city plan covers Vec Riga and the downtown on the right and left side of the Daugava river. Additonal I own an city guide from 1943 (what an anacronism, who needs that at this time peroid? The only peoples who are traveling were soldiers and refugees). This guide includes all adresses of the German occupation administration.
If someone need support to translate and to find any adress or place, please feel free to contact me.
