Klein Lubin (Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)
Klein Lubin, a village in West Prussia on the Vistula in the territory of Schwetz, then Polish, was settled by Dutch colonists as early as 1525. In 1595 they obtained some privileges, including free transportation of goods along the Vistula and later also freedom from military levies. A land lease of 1632 shows that at this time the farmers of Klein Lubin were all Mennonites. They were probably members of the Montau congregation. Some of the Mennonite families living there in the 17th and 18th centuries were Schultz, Janzon (Jantzen), Görtz, Vogt, Baltzer, Schroeder and Rosenfeldt.
