ShtetlSeeker, kartenmeister.com and GOV only came up with DOMB in
Silesia. There is no prefix DEUTSCH going with DOMB, however.
Domb was a German settlement founded in the 13th century (or even
earlier), right next to Chorzow. Other German settlements in the
same area: Deutsch-Dombrowka, Kamin, Deutsch-Beckern
(Deutsch-Piekar), Rossberg, Schomberg, Lagiewnik, Beuthen etc.
Today, Domb (Dab) is part of Katowice and on older maps it is
referred to as Domb-Kattowitz.
