Prangenau (Polish, Pręgowo Żuławskie), a village in the Marienburg Werder, West Prussia (now Poland), four miles northwest of Neuteich (coordinates: 54° 09' 26'' N 18° 55' 45'' E). Located in the area of the Ladekopp community, it was rather late in receiving Mennonite settlers. Some of these settlers lived on the three farmsteads (Höfe) "built into the field." One of these farms belonged to Johann Penner (see Penner family), the elder of the Ladekopp congregation until his death in 1943. Since he was also chairman of the Committee of Elders of the Conference of the Mennonite Churches of East and West Prussia, this village became one of the better-known villages.
