Woziwoda, Kreis Tuchel,
West Prussia
Woziwoda (literally " That man who carries water")
is a small village on the river north of Tuchel, Kielpin and Komorza. Its position on the river makes it an ideal location
for a water mill to grind grains. Now it is all part of a tourist recreation
area. It was the site of an important battle between the Poles and Swedes in
1659.
This mill site
attracted the Johan Remus family and related families
like the Christian Schwichtenberg family and the
Christian Klotz family. For example, Johan Remus and
Anna Marie Halweg were from this village when son
Andreas was born 29 November 1796 and son David Wilhelm was born here on 26
December 1799. Click here for the Johan Remus
