Gross Kr�ssin, Kreis Neusettin, Pommern
Gross
Kr�ssin
(Krosino) is just south of the Remus family villages
of Damen and Zadtkow in the Pommern.
Like Damen and Zadtkow,
Gross Kr�ssin
was a manorial farm. In the above map,
you can see the barns and estate house (gut) at the top of the village map
above.
The
Remus family worked on this estate and lived in a house in this village. August
Wilhelm Remus married Emilie Flemming and had many
children here. Also there was the Carl Hermann Gottlieb Remus and Ernestine Ziesemer family working here. These two family heads were
sons of Gottlieb Wilhelm Remus and Caroline Villwock
and were born in the 1850�s in nearby Zadtkow. Also
in Gross Krossin was the family of Albert Remus and
Bertha Ristau; Albert died around 1885 and his wife
Bertha married Ernst Flemming. I am not certain how
Albert is related to the other Remus family members in Gross Kr�ssin.
Today,
much is changed. The manor house is gone and only a few barns remain such as
this one:
The
estate was probably converted after the war to a state farm. However, it is no
longer a farm but is instead an area to process lumber after it is taken from
the forest and prepare the wood for use in building. Here is a picture of the
work area in the old estate:
There are still houses for workers in the village like
this:
The church is still at the same location in the
village but appears to be a modern church perhaps replacing a church destroyed
in the war. Here are pictures:
