Current place-names are matched to current and historical variants in standard and non-standard spelling. Such one-to-one mappings are preferred to text snippets with context, e. g. in the case of geo-referencing historical documents. The presented method yields an error rate of about 2%, which can be reduced manually and with reasonable effort to approximately 1%.
