For Mittenwalde, Uckermark, Brandenburg, Preussen

Mittenwalde 2) Mittenwalde, Templin, Potsdam, Brandenburg, Preussen

Meyers columns are place name, then Kreis, Regierungsbezirk, Province, State. Meyers lists six Mittenwalde in the empire; only entry 2) is in Kreis Templin, the Uckermark Kreis this row names. The geocoder had offered the Mittenwalde in Kreis Teltow, 100 km south. Coordinate from the modern gazetteer (Mittenwalde, Brandenburg, 53.1849/13.6636), which agrees with Meyers' 1912 point 53.1833/13.6667 to about 200 m.

PROBABLE, not certain. There is no Kaschnitz anywhere in the 1912 empire, and Meyers is complete, so the leaf is a mis-transcription. The only Pommern candidate within two letters that lies in the family's own Kreis is Kalischnitz, an Abbau (outlying settlement) of Gross Podel in Landkreis Stolp, at 54.57816, 17.49667 — the same Kreis as Lupow (#2554/#3297), where the same Greinke family's earlier generation was born. Gross Podel is today Podole Wielkie, gmina Główczyce (Wikidata Q1488245, 54.579648, 17.503756); Kalischnitz has no separate post-1945 name, so that is the coordinate set.

The stored pin 53.5259/8.1277 was on the Weser near Bremerhaven, 425 km west.
