Drengfurt/Wolfshagen

Hallo Ingrid

im Buch "Geschichte der Stadt Drengfurt" von Hugo Bonk aus dem Jahr 1905 ist zwar haeufig von Zerstoerung (Tatarenueberfaelle, Braende, Sturm, Baufaelligkeit) der Kirche die Rede, aber nicht das Drengfurth zu einem Kirchspiel des Kreises Gerdauen gehoert hat. Bei Wolfshagen koennte es sich um das Kirchspiel Nordenburg gehandelt haben.

Hallo Bernd und Ingrid,

ich muss mich doch mal zu Wort melden, da hier einiges drunter und dr�ber geht.
Schaut mal unter http://www.ahnen-gesucht.de/ahnenspuren/ostpreussen/landkreise/ nach.

Drengfurt ist seit 1545 Kirchspiel. Nur wurde es 1819 von Gerdauen nach Rastenburg eingegliedert. Das ist alles, was es mit dem Jahr 1819 auf sich hat.
Auch in Goldbecks Topographie von 1785 ist es schon als Ksp zum Kirchenkreis Rastenburg vermerkt.

Herzliche Gr��e,

I will appreciate your help. Looking on maps I have
been trying to figure out how far the towns of Melzow
& Malchow are from each other. They are both in the
Uckermacht, Brandenburg, Germany. I have not run
across a map (yet) which shows both towns.

I do know that Melzow is listed as being at Latitude
53 degrees, 10' 6 N; & Longitude 13 degrees 54' 0" E.
While Malchow is shown as being at Latitude 53 degrees,
25' 0 N; & Longitude 13 degrees, 55' 0".

Thanks for any help you can provide.
