Alt
Czersk, Kreis Konitz, West Prussia
Alt Czersk is now a
major town on the road between Konitz
and Preuss Stargard. Around 1820 it was a well located small
village with a mill. August Albert Remus was the gutbesitzer (lived in the estate house and managed the village)
here around 1865; his wife was Bertha Klawiter. They
are the descendents of Michael Remus two of Pollnitz.
Also descendents of Lorenz Christoph Remus and Marianna Wenski of Schwente, Kreis Flatow lived here and north
of here in Mockrau (Mokre).
The arrival of the railway transformed the
village into a pleasant railway town. However two older buildings remain, the 1910 church and the 1823 rectory. Here are
pictures of those buildings:
Here is a 1914 map showing Alt Czersk on the main road and rail line between Konitz and Preuss Stargard. Czersk Mill is shown

the main north-south road. Here is the map:
