Anna Christine nee Schulz (1825-1895) and her husband Friedrich Wegner (1818-1879) received 4 Morgen and 121 Ruthen from her parents as an inheritance contract likely at the time of the couple’s marriage with a value of 40 Thaler. The couple’s ownership of the property partitioned from Property 5 was registered by the General Commission of Posen on February 29, 1852.
On July 22, 1854 the Wegners received another 3 Morgen and 74 Ruthen from the Radomski Estate.
The Wegners purchased a second partition of Property 5 consisting of 10 Morgen of farmland and pasture from Martin and Anna Catherina nee Hoeft Wegner for 295 Thaler. This contract was signed on April 12, 1860 and registered on July 11, 1860.
This partition was not included in Property 8 but rather received its own property number 11. Until December 15, 1910 the distinction between the two properties was maintained. This may have been done because of Property 11 being created from Property 5 after the 1852 registration. Property 11 carries the life estates of both widows Anna Maria Kumke from 1829 and Anna Louise Schulz from 1855 plus the inheritances rights of the Schulz siblings. Property 8 does not have those encumbrances.
Church records and Friedrich’s civil death register record his occupation as not only a cottager farmer but also as a teacher. He was likely the teacher at the Polajewo Hauland school located on the Property 21.
On February 18, 1876 the couple transferred their properties to their daughter Henriette Auguste (1848-1934) and her future husband August Wilhelm Siewert prior to their marriage on March 4th. This contract included inheritance provisions for Henriette’s two minor sisters, Pauline (1857-1925) and Julianne (1866-1902) of 300 Thaler each.
The Siewerts sold the property to Friedrich Hermann Lüning (1853-1934) on March 24, 1882 prior to their emigration to America.
Hermann Lüning and his wife Pauline Wilhelmine nee Kropp (1865-1932) held the property until their deaths. Following their deaths, the property was transferred to their son Wilhelm Erich Lüning (1907-1943). The records are unclear as what happened to the property following Wilhelm being killed on the Russian front. However, this is the only property in the community that was transferred to the government in 1961 rather than 1947.
