apisbelifera is right; Ostsee means "Baltic Sea" "Bad" refers to a (seaside) spa town, Leba is now called "Łeba" and the Polish name for "Lavenburg" in Pomerania is "Lębork". "Kreis" means "district", by the way.
Here's an Eglish language tourist website for Łeba:

and here's a google map of the area:

It is actually called : Ostseebad .... It lies along the Baltic Sea In Northern Germany . The Province of Pommern of course surrounds it . I spent 6 months in 1943 in Bad Bansin which is close to there . Why don't you visit sometime and enjoy the fresh air from the Baltic Sea, stroll along the beaches and collect some Amber which is sometimes to be found there .
My grandfather was born in Pommern . Gee, I am getting in the mood to go back myself .LOL

Lavenburg is a town in Pomerania. Ostee means East and kreis means cross. perhaps a google on some of those words might pull up a match.
