Saxaren (Dziegciarnia), Kreis
Wirsitz, Posen
Saxaren is a village in Kreis Wirsitz just south of Vandsburg
in Kreis Flatow. You will
see Saxaren in the lower left-hand corner of the
following map:
This region was
full of Remus families (and some in this village as
was also the related Jacobi family). Also the Fischer and Dietrich families who
were ancestors of Dave and Elaine Pardoe em.pardoe@verizon.net were here. Saxaren
apparently was originally a manorial village. This area became part of Poland
after World War I and like many villages in the newly created Poland, it appears that the manorial farm was broken up into
small farms following the war. Here is a circa 1939 map of Saxaren
from Paperstein's book Der
Kreis Wirsitz:
Following are
pictures of the village including the old Lutheran Church shown on the above map . These pictures were taken by Dave and Elaine Pardoe em.pardoe@verizon.net who were kind enough to let
me to include them here.
