History: |
Already in 1237 the city of Płock showed a significant number of German inhabitants. An increase of German settlements happened during the time of the Prussian administration after the 3rd Polish Partition in 1795. In 1797 the first Prussian founding of a colony happened near the village of Maszewo in the vicinity of Płock. 149 Families formed the new place called Kolonja Schröttersdorf. The Lutheran parish of Płock was founded in 1804 by the Prussian authorities. The Prussian authorities left the church of the former Dominican Monastery from the 17th century and an additional building to the new parish. |
