Reinland (Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)Reinland, a village in West Prussia, was one of the later village areas to be cultivated, being covered by a forest until 1725. The first settlers had predominantly Dutch names. The settlers were given permission to build walls and dams, dig trenches, and build windmills and sluices for drainage. They were released from work on the main dam. They were permitted to sell their land only to relatives. In 1936 there were still seven Mennonite families there, who were members of the Tiegenhagen congregation. BibliographyCrichton, W. Zur Geschichte der Mennoniten. Königsberg, 1786: 28. Dormann, E. J.
