I am looking for any information about my grandparents, Jean and Elisabeth Nicolas from Rostin. They were the owners of the Rittergut Rostin. Jean passed away in the thirties. Elisabeth perished in 1945. I have so many fond childhood memories of visits to Rostin, the last visit was in the summmer of 1944.

Dear Anne Hannouche,
Unfortunately I know almost nothing about your ancestors but I would be grateful for your information about former Rostin. We would like (me and my family) to rebuild old medieval church, which you certainly remember. It is located very close to the mansion, just near the road. The current state of the building is very bad, but according to the plans we should start rebuilding in this year, so quite quickly should be better in this matter.
In last few months I tried to collect various data (including photos) about Rostin’s story, too. The effect isn’t so stunning but maybe some of them would be interesting for you?
I would be grateful and happy if we will find the direct contact and stay in touch. Don’t hesitate to write to me, please.
Regards,
Tomasz Nowakiewicz

The grand-grandfather of my wife was August Wollbrück (Buchhandler, Berlin), related to Jean and Elly Nicolas. My wife (Regina, 1942) is the daughter of Annemarie Dortschy- Wollbrück. Regina made her first steps on the stairs of the house in Rostin. She and her mother arrived in January 1945 on their flee for the Red Army in Rostin. Because the situation there was very threatening they left Rostin after a couple of days, and travelled to Berlin, together with niece Ella. Of course we are very eager to know who you are and were you are living; we have still a lot of photographs of family happenings in Rostin.

Dear Vincent Ophoff,
What’s a great news! Thank you very much for information about your family and part of Rostin’s history. In answer of your question: I’m an archaeologist from University of Warsaw. My wife and my sister are also scientists (Polish Academy of Sciences and University of Warsaw). As I wrote, we would like to rebuild medieval church – not for comercial use, but just to save and protect that amazing object and to enable the people to admire it’s shape and construction. We hope that in close future rebuilded church will be also right place to support some local social initiatives related with past and present history of Neumark.
Mr Ophoff, thanks again for your letter. Would you mind to send me your private email address to continue our conversation?
With best wishes, Tomasz Nowakiewicz

Jean Louis Charles Nicolas (born 1874-06-20 Berlin), son of Samuel Charles Nicolas and Marie Therese Briesemeister. You can see a part of the family tree in: R. Beringuier - Stammbäume der Französischen Colonie in Berlin. URL: http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/w/index.php?title=Datei:Berlin_Franz_Colonie_1885.djvu&page=61
The brother of Jean Nicolas is the Grandfather of my father-in-law, still living near Berlin.
Vincent Ophoff 22 11 2017, 13:49
Are you sure that this Jean Louis is the same person as Jean Nicolas, who bought in 1901 Rittergut Rostin?
ShL74 12 01 2018, 00:43
Absolutely!
ShL74 12 01 2018, 00:51
My father-in-law told me from the family history, that the keep of the Rittergut has devoured the largest part of the family heritage. In the end for nothing ...
I have a family tree, if you want to.

Hello Shl74 I'm still looking for information about Jean Nicolas (Rostin). Last year we visited the remains of the Rittergut (Hic transit gloria mundi). Very depressing. I'm working at a reorint of the family history of de family Wollbrück, parented to the Dortschy's. In fact my late mother in law was a Dortschy. Perhaps it is possible to cummunicate directly via email (see above

I am a cousin of Anne Hannouche (above) and have a family tree of the Family Nicolas. Our grandfather was Jean Nicolas born 21.06.1874, died 27.11.1933. He had a sister Margarete and a brother Karl Emil David Nicolas born 06.02.1877, died 23.05.1945 . I knew Jean had a brother but until I received the family tree some years ago from another cousin I was totally unaware that Karl had so many children who all seem to live in Berlin. I would love to hear from you all. I too visited Rostin in the summer of 2017 and we were so sad to see it more or less as a ruin.
Vincent V.F.W. Ophoff 26 09 2018, 15:44
Hello Carlotta and Shl74
Your family Nicolas is absolutely the family I'm looking for. Is it possible to have have direct contact via email? We've been in Rostin last summer to see the remains of what was once 'a palace'! Very sad.
Best regards,
