... about Tillendorf
Tillendorf was, and remains, a very small village. It is in the county of Stuhm. Historically it was in the German province of Westpreussen. Today it is in the Polish province of Pomorskie. The nearest Catholic parish for this village was in Schonwiese, but Joseph and Anna Zielinski worshipped at the Catholic parish in Altmark. Tillendorf was a satellite farm under the control of Gross Waplitz, and contained a water grist mill on a small lake. In the late 1800's, Tillendorf consisted of 9 buildings and 84 inhabitants. Today the village does not exist on any maps, but there exists a very small village just down the road known as Tulice.
