The Grundbücher for Rützow detail the ownership of the pension farmers from what was known as a Rentengüter. Earlier entries detail the the owners before more people settled in from elsewhere. This was, in-part, a product of inner colonization.

Special thanks to a librarian in Koszalin, who helped by photographing the first three books several years ago to help me with the search for my own family history. I photographed volumes 4 and 5 when I visited the Koszalin Archive. They helped me, so I hope they can help you.

Help us make these records more accessible for researchers worldwide. If you can read old script, we would love your help to make the entries in these books searchable. Please consider donating your time, even if it's just for a few pages. (We also use Google Sheets so you can see where the last person left off and where the work needs to be continued!)
