Wollin (Wolonia), Kreis Stolp, Pommern
Wollin was a very big
manorial farm having hundreds of workers including many Remus family members. Now little of the manorial farm remains except the lovely estate house (gut) currently under renovation. Here are pictures.
After WWII, this estate became of state farm and the old worker housing was replaced by modern housing. However, the old pathway the workers took to enter the estate still is there:
And a few of the barns also remain:
The Puttkammer family of Pommern once owned the estate. This was a very big manorial farm often having hundreds of workers including many Remus family members. Like
Podel, they generally attended the Lutheran church in Stowiecino although there also was a chapel on the estate. At the current moment, there is a Catholic chapel mostly likely on the location of the old Lutheran chapel. Here is a picture:
Some other records for these workers show up in other more distant churches like
Glowitz and Zezenow. Those villages are shown on the following map:
