Slavonia (Croatian: Slavonija; German: Slawonien) is a geographical and historical region in eastern Croatia. It is a fertile agricultural and forested lowland bordered by the Drava river in the north, the Sava river in the south, the Illova river in the west and the Danube river in the east, with Syrmia.  While generally known as a lowland, Slavonia does actually have a number of hills. The main ones are Psunj, Papuk, Požeška Gora, Ravna gora, Krndija and Dilj, which in turn encircle the valley of Požega.

The area is divided in seven counties, total population of 781,454 (2001). The biggest city is Osijek with a population of 114,616 (2001). Other cities are: Slavonski Brod, Vinkovci, Vukovar, Dakovo, Požega, Virovitica, Nova Gradiška, Slatina, Zupanja, Nasice, Valpovo, Belišće. Agram is Zagreb the Capital of Croatia.

As a local administration and self-government unit, Osijek-Baranja County is a part of the administrative-territorial organization of the Republic of Croatia established in 1993. It is located in the northeastern part of the Republic of Croatia in the Pannonian region, extending over the area of 4,152 km2. It encompasses the localities surrounding the lower flow of the Drava River prior to its confluence into the Danube.

German Exonyms For Places In Croatia – wikipedia – This is a list of German exonyms for toponyms in Croatia. Part of Croatia was governed by Austria-Hungary, and some Hungarian exonyms became common in German, and may be used interchangeably with the German exonym for a period. These Hungarian names are noted below. Also, parts of Croatia ruled by Austria-Hungary were formerly governed by Italy, and Italian names also migrated to German usage. These are also noted.

Please note that this list is an ongoing project and may be incomplete, so please check back for updates.
