Pissa River :''This river should not be confused with the Pisa River in Poland.'' The Pissa is a river in the Kaliningrad Oblast in Russia near Chernyakhovsk. The Pissa, Inster and Angerapp (Angrapa) are tributaries to the Pregel river. These names, of Old Prussian origin, were used by Germans of East Prussia until 1945. According to an anecdote, the inhabitants of Gumbinnen were embarrassed by the name and asked King Friedrich Wilhelm IV for a name change. He is said to have replied ''"Approved. Recommend Urinoco."''〔Gordon A. Craig, "Über die Deutschen"; 〕 ==References==
