Reinfeld, Kreis Rummelsburg, Pommern

 

 

Reinfeld was a manorial farm just south of Alt Kolziglow in Kreis Rummelsburg. It is best known as it is the residence of Johanna Puttkamer the wife of German Chancellor Otto Bismarck. The Puttkamers owned many villages in the area including Barnow but this was the most beautiful.

 

On the above map you will know the long black lines showing the barns and the short black lines showing hours. The manor house (gut) is at the left of the three black lines showing the barns. The pond was a common for the peasants living around it.
