Alternatively, the villages of this area were called
the Koschnaewjerdörfer in German

The Koschneiderei (in Polish Kosznajderia) is a distinct cultural area southeast of the city of Konitz, West Prussia, that was settled by Germans at the time of the Teutonic Knights (officially the "Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem," "Ordo domus Sanctæ Mariæ Theutonicorum Hierosolymitanorum," or "Orden der Brüder vom Deutschen Haus St. Mariens in Jerusalem" Wikipedia article) in the 14th Century A.D.

View a map (abt. 1927-28) of the Koschneiderei here.

The residents of this area retained a distinct language and culture for hundreds of years. While much of West Prussia became Lutheran, this area remained Catholic. Poles and Germans attended the same parishes, resulting in considerable intermarriage.

Some emigrants from the Koschneiderei regard themselves as Poles and others as Germans. In either case, descendants of the Koschneiderei settlers are working together to document its history and families.
