Hansfelde (Tychowo), Kreis Saatzig, Pommern
Hansfelde is not in West Prussia but in Pommern near Stettin (at the center of the above map) and the modern German border with Poland. It was the home of the Christian Frederick Remus family in the early 1800's. Other Remus families were north of Hansfelde in Gollow and south of Hansfelde in
Repplin (in the lower right hand corner of the above map).This very pleasant village was a
manorial village so at one point all the people worked for the folks in the manor house. Here are pictures of the church:

Here are details on that Remus family:
Descendants of Christian Friedrich Remus
Generation No. 1
1. CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICH1 REMUS was born Abt. 1790 in Pommern (see note), and died September 23, 1882 in Fraser Twp, Renfrew Co, ON1. He married (1) ANNA CHARLOTTE LOUISE BLOEDOW Bef. 1825. She was born 1795 in Pommern2, and died October 26, 1837 in Hansfelde, Saatzig, Pommern (see note)2. He married (2) DOROTHEA SOPHIA ALBRECHT 18383. She was born 1812 in Hansfelde, Saatzig, Pommern4, and died September 19, 1848 in Hansfelde, Saatzig, Pommern5,6. He married (3) DOROTHEA SOPHIA HUEBNER November 12, 1839 in Hansfelde, Saatzig, Pommern (see note), daughter of CHRISTIAN HUEBNER and JOHANNA LEHMANN. She was born August 24, 1821 in Ahusfelde, Stettin, Pommern7, and died September 17, 1871 in Fraser Twp, Renfrew Co, ON7.
Notes for CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICH REMUS:
There are changes shown in the records made by Bill Remus (remus@hawaii.edu) based on the Hansfelde Church Book available on microfilm 1334592 from the Mormon's Family History Library. I did this as part of a comprehensive attempt to link up all the Remus families of West Prussia and Pommerania.
Here are some important notes on Christian's birth date and family.
Marriage #2 in Hansfelde on 12 Nov 1839 is almost certainly the marriage of Christian Fredrich Remus to Dorothea Huebner. However, the marriage record is full of errors. Remus is spelled as Ranlin and Dorothea is not shown as Huebner but with the blurred name of her prior husband (Zem....). In this record Christian is said to be 49 years old meaning that he was born in 1790 approximately - that is 15 years older than Chris' 1805. The 1790 date fits better than 1805 with the birth date of 1798 of his first wife Charlotte.
A likely sibling is also shown in the early Hansfelde records. Dorothea Maria Remus wife of Friedrich Kruger gave birth in 1824 (Johanna Lousie in record #19) and 1825 (Carl Heinrich in record #16) and 1827 (Johanna Luise in record #13 as probably the earlier daughter of the same name had died). Also in Hansfelde was Martin Remus who died in 1836 at age 75 (born 1761), husband of Anna Sophia Kierbaurer (?). He is the likely father of Christian and his likely sister Dorothea.

Notes for ANNA CHARLOTTE LOUISE BLOEDOW:
On 18 June 1837 Charlotte gave birth to a child that died. Her death was just a few months later so the two deaths may be related.
