Maps of Mennonite Villages in Berlin

Adalbert Goertz Maps of Mennonite Villages in Berlin. The Prussian authorities collected maps of villages since the annexation of West Prussia in 1772. They were deposited in the archives of the two districts of Danzig and Marienwerder (after 1815). Some of the maps designated also the owners of the individual plats in each village which is of interest to family researchers. Today the Marienwerder map collection is available in Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz (in 14195 Berlin-Dahlem, Archivstr.12-14; email: gsta.pk@gsta.pk-berlin.de). Winfried Bliss published an inventory of these maps entitled "Die Plankammer der Regierung Marienwerder" (Köln-Wien 1982). I have excerpted the listing of maps with Mennonite-sounding names omitting non-Mennonite names. Copies of these maps can be ordered from Berlin. Samples of map copies may be viewed on Dr.Walter Epp's website: Click here for map samples The Danzig map collection was transferred to the Gdansk State Archives, Poland, in about 1946. Maps should be available for copying. As far as I know no inventory of these maps of the Plankammer Danzig has been published to date. Below you will find my selective map listing: (Place, year and scale of map, signatur in Berlin, Mennonnite names found). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- Orte der Schwetz-Graudenz-Neuenburger Niederung 1781 1:15000 F2113 Westlicher Teil des Kreises Graudenz 1780 1:50000 F2054 Kr.Culm,C.Rossgarten; 1776 1:8000 F2339 Becker,Boltz,Frantz Kr.Culm,Horst; 1789 1:5000 G2143 Foth,Nickel,Wichert Kr.Culm,Kl.Lunau; 1868 1:5000 C861 Bartel,Block,Franz,Goertz,Stobbe,Thjart Kr.Culm,Kokotzko; 1786 1:6000 G2274 Baltzer,Bartz Kr.Culm,Kokotzko; 1799 1:5000 E1349 Balzer,Bartz,Goerz Kr.Culm,Podwitz-Niederausmaas; 1779 1:5000 G1402 Balzer,Goertz Kr.Culm,Podwitz; 1779 1:5000 G1402 Goertz,Jans Kr.Culm,Podwitz; 1786 1:5000 G2138 Dercks,Franz,Schroeder,Siebrandt Kr.Culm,Podwitz; 1789 1:5000 E1722 Baecker,Ebert,Frantz,Jarth,Nickel,Schroeder,Siebrandt Kr.Culm,Schöneich; 1789 1:5000 E1738 Bartel,Cornelius,Edger,Jantzen,Penner,Poetcker Kr.Graudenz,Parsken; 1785 1:5000 G2118 Bartel,Harms,Kerber,Nikel Kr.Graudenz,Parsken; 1801 1:5000 C727 Bartel,Block,Harms,Wohlgemuth Kr.Graudenz,Parsken; 1879 1:6000 C875 Block,Ediger,Ewert Kr.Marienwerder,Gr.Weide; 1786 1:5000 G2289 Bartel Kr.Marienwerder,Gr.Weide; 1806 1:5000 B957 Neumann,Nickel,Paulus,Siebert Kr.Marienwerder,Kl.Paradies; 1783 1:5000 F2221 Block,Penner,Peters,Schroeder Kr.Marienwerder,Küche; 1795 1:5000 G1351 Jantzen,Penner,Schroeder Kr.Marienwerder,Küche; 1803 1:5000 F2407 Goertz,Kroeger,Penner,Schmidt Kr.Marienwerder,Küche; 1803 1:5000 E1366 Goertz,Jantzen Kr.Marienwerder,Schulwiese; 1786 1:5000 G2294 Baltzer,Ediger,Ewert,Goertz,Knels,Neumann,Penner,Schmidt Kr.Marienwerder,Schulwiese; 1786 1786 F2236 Abrahams,Albrecht,Bartel,Claassen,Ediger,Franz,Goerz,Nickel, Penner,Taardt Kr.Schwetz,Brattwin; 1789 1:5000 G1355 Baltzer,Franz,Goertz Kr.Schwetz,Brattwin; 1804 1:5000 E1635 Balzer,Frantz,Goertz Kr.Schwetz,Dragas; 1801 1:5000 E1642 Adrian,Baecher,Bartel,Cliwer,Dirks,Goerz,Schroeder,Unruh,Vot h Kr.Schwetz,Dragas; 1804 1:2500 G2113 Johann Unruh Kr.Schwetz,Dragas; 1830?1:5000 E1378,E1379,E1971 Balzer,Baecher,Boltz,Franz,Goerz,Tgart,Vooth Kr.Schwetz,Ehrental (Ostrower K.); 1786 1:5000 F2250,G1356 Abraham,Becker,Buller,Foht,Nachtigal,Stobbe,Tgiahrt Kr.Schwetz,Gr.Lubin; 1793 1:5000 F2247 no names Kr.Schwetz,Gr.Sanskau; 1783 1:6000 F2413 Abraham,Block,Goertz,Koerber,Nikel,Richert,Schroeder Kr.Schwetz,Gr.Sanskau; 1796 1:5000 F1733 Ewert,Kerber Kr.Schwetz,Gr.Sanskau; 1807 1:5000 F2410 Goerz,Stobbe Kr.Schwetz,Gr.Sanskau; 1843 1:5000 F2592 Abraham,Balzer,Block,Kerber Kr.Schwetz,Gr.Sibsau; 1801 1:5000 F2195 Bartel Kr.Schwetz,Gr.Westphalen; 1791 1:5000 E1659 Ewert,Unrau Kr.Schwetz,Kl.Lubin; 1768 1:5000 G1593 Baltzer,Block,Goertz,Rosenfeld,Schroeder Kr.Schwetz,Kl.Sanskau; 1783 1:6000 G2296 Goertz,Kerber,Richert Kr.Schwetz,Kl.Sanskau; 1786 1:5000 G2206 Goertz,Kerber,Kopper,Richert Kr.Schwetz,Kl.Sanskau; 1805 1:5000 F1902 Goerz,Kerber,Richert Kr.Schwetz,Kl.Sanskau; 1810 1:5000 F1730 Goerz,Kerber,Rosenfeldt Kr.Schwetz,Montau; 1783 1:6000 G1354 Bartel,Bolt,Ewert,Frantz,Goertz,Kerber,Kliewer,Richert,Schro eder,Unruh Kr.Schwetz,Montau; 1785 1:5000 E1375 Bartel(meus),Bolt,Ewert,Frantz,Goertz,Kerber,Kerber,Kliewer,Schroeder,Unruh Kr.Schwetz,Montau; 1789 1:6000 G2268 Bartel,Ewert,Frantz,Kerber Kr.Schwetz,Montau; 1793 1:6000 G2271 Bartel,Ewert,Frantz,Kerber Kr.Schwetz,Montau; 1810 1:5000 E1630 Balzer,Boldt,Ewert,Franz,Goerz,Kerber,Klieber,Kopper,Rosenfe ld,Schroeder,Unrau Kr.Schwetz,Treul-Dorf; 1796 1:6000 F2408 Goerz,Kerber,Kliewer,Peters.Stobbe Kr.Schwetz,Treul-Dorf; 1854 1:5000 D323 Baltzer,Becher,Ewert,Peters,Rosfeld Kr.Schwetz,Treul-Neusass; 1793 1:5000 G1996 Bartsch,Ewert,Gehde,Kliewwer,Stobbe Kr.Schwetz,Treul; 1820 1:5000 D327 Dircks,Ediger,Harmes,Kerber,Kliewer,Nickel,Schroeder Kr.Schwetz,Treul; 1845 1:2500 A1359 Balzer,Becher,Kerber,Kliewer Kr.Stuhm,Gr.Usznitz; 1773 1:5000 F1876 Goertz,Hamm,Harms,Neufeldt,Paulus,Penner,Peters,Unruh,Warken tin,Ziems Kr.Stuhm,Gr.Usznitz; 1809 1:5000 E1680 Goertz,Hamm,Harms,Neufeld,Paulus,Penner,Peters,Schroetger,Un ruh,Warkentin,Ziems Kr.Stuhm,Gr.Usznitz; 1820 1:5000 E1677 Bartsch,Hamm Kr.Stuhm,Rosenkrantz; 1785 1:4000 G23050 Ewert,Frantz,Janzen Kr.Stuhm,Rosenkrantz; 1786 1:4000 G2318 Ewert,Frantz,Peters Kr.Stuhm,Rudnerweide; 1787 1:4000 G2310 Ediger,Flaming,Harm,Kliewer,Nikel,Penner,Schroeder,Siewert,U nrau,Wichert Kr.Thorn,Gr.Nessau (Nieszewken); 1803 1:5000 A1327 Balzer,Bartel,Jantz,Schroeder Kr.Thorn,Kl.Nessau (Duliniewo); 1804 1:5000 A1339,A1331 Bartel,Eck,Ewert,Goertz,Schroeder Return to main menu I invite your comment and suggestions on this page:
