Kreisler means potter (Kreis means circle, referring to the potter's wheel)

In which way, the region Kreisler originates from was "occupied" by the Germans and Russians?

Galitziana refers to a Jewish area from the south-eastern region of the Eastern-European Yiddish speaking world. The name originated as the Yiddish term referring to Galicia, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in modern-day Poland and Ukraine.
