Zbosse was a very early place in West Prussia to become both German and Lutheran.
There was a Lutheran prayer house in Zbosse as early as 1620; it was disestablished in
1714 by Polish law. DKF lists a Peter Remus getting schultzenprivileg for Zbosse in
1718. The details are in LDS microfilm 491232 that shows a copy in German of a 14
June 1718 document. Peter is buying the Schultzprivileg and the estate Lehmanngut from
his brother in law Martin Gieus; Martin Gieus may be from the prominent Gieus family
of Danzig that had land holdings in the area or Martin Gies of Kries Schlochau. Johan
Jacob Potulicke owned the property.
The above Peter is the father of the Peter in the census. The Peter in the census received
the above property plus 4 farms in this village and 8 farms in nearby Wissoka from his
father on 18 January 1748. This privileg is shared with Peter Scharmer. Alexander
Pottilice owned the property.
The Zbosse church book names Peter Remus as the Schultz during this period. The
census says that the Schultz (Peter) was living with wife (Catharina Thoms), two sons
(Johan Ludwig and Peter), three daughters (Dorothea Elisabeth, Anna Marie, and
Catharina), five hired male workers, and three hired female workers; there were fifteen in
household. This Peter is not the same Peter shown for Waldau above. The Germanized
village name Zbosse is probably from the Polish Zboze meaning grain.
