Any Strachvitz out there?

Question

In my place are buried Alexander and Maria Erna von Strachvitz, they had a castle in Wierzbie, they build the church here and set a huge farming place with gardens and forest parks.
My friend is writing a book about the history of my place and I thought I could help him;)))

did you try to go along your genealogy tree? Is it possible you are related to the one who lived in Wierzbie?

Answer 1

This appears to be Polish. I could not find any information until I changed the V to a W. The sites in the sources provide information on Wierzbie and the von Strachwitz family (in Polish)

It would seem that this is in the German partition of Poland, since the passenger lists show the origin as Germany:
