Prussian Stettin for nearly its entire recorded bench — a Pomeranian naval and garrison city whose officer class and Lutheran scholars overwhelmingly outnumber the postwar Polish Szczecin that inherited the empty buildings. The outsized Soldier and Officer counts come straight from the Wehrmacht and Imperial Navy cohort, while the thick Author, Theologian, and Academic clusters trace the German-speaking Gymnasium culture that disappeared in 1945.
