Petershagen (Pomeranian Voivodship, Poland)Petershagen (now Zelichowo - coordinates: 19°07' 54°14'), a part of the Tiegenhagen congregation in West Prussia, Germany. There the Mennonites of the Gross-Werder were in 1768 required to build a Catholic chapel on the Moskenberg and maintain it for all time in return for the permission granted by the Bishop of Culm (who in the name of the king of Poland exercised ecclesiastical sovereignty) for the erection of their own chapels in Tiegenhagen, Ladekopp, Fürstenwerder, and Heubuden. The newly built Catholic chapel was burned down by lightning in 1788 and was not rebuilt. The obligation was met with a gift of money. BibliographyHege, Christian and Christian Neff.
