Oh, why didn't you say so?

"Chapter K: Beziehungen zwischen dem Zentrum und dem Westen (vor
allem England) 1. horst, 2. kreek, 3. lage, 4. Ufer, 5. wapel"

According to his maps:


horst:
large concentrations in Kent, Sussex, Lake District, Eastern
Netherlands, Westphalia, North of Lower Elbe (Holstein, Mecklenburg),
West of Lower Oder, some along Middle Rhine.


kreek

Large concentration in East Fladers, a few spread in England, a few
in Westphalia


lage

large concentration between the rivers Ems and Weser


Ufer

concentration along the Middle Rhine, spread all over England a few
in the Low Germana ares west of the Elbe


wapel

a few in England and in the Low German area west of the Elbe, three
in Southern Jutland


This is of course a description with few details. Perhaps you should
acquire the book yourself?
