As I reported in previously published articles on these places have, we have been able to find any sources that illuminate the origin of Neufitte and Stombeck. In the 18th Praestationstabellen Century out of office Schaaken says the billings at Neufitte / Stombeck reiterates that the relevant documents in the Official Neuhausen had gone missing.
The so-called Powundischen Probsteydörfer or the income from these villages have already been allocated in the Middle Ages the Königsberg cathedral. I suspect that remained because of these old covers the villages after the secularization at the Office Neuhausen are. The Office Neuhausen covers an area directly north-northeast adjacent to Konigsberg, but has never actually a direct connection with the Sogn. Probstey had villages on the Curonian Lagoon. This up to the beginning of the 18th Century were to belong to five villages Schmiedehnen Neuhausen, Gunther, Plöstwehnen, Will Keim and Stombeck / Neufitte were, a Neuhausensche enclave on the Curonian Spit Powunden between the offices and Schaaken Laptau. Only then were assigned to the Office Schaaken.
I first knew nothing of these old covers. In my research I talked to archive files of the Office Schaaken and wondered where to find anything older than Stombeck / Neufitte. Not until the mention of Neuhausen in the document Schaaken me to further trace.

section of the Sogn. Schrötter card in the 18th Century
Now it needs a basic awareness of the name. In the 17th and 18 Century, it is almost always Neufitte. Adventurous spelling variations are related to: Newe Viet, Newe Pfütt, New Fitt. The term Stombeck appears occasionally, when the fishermen of the Neufitte speech
t the Stombecke they should live. Sold as Office 1679, the pitcher on Neufitte in private hands, according to the prescription: " pitcher in the 5-Vitte Mrg. Uff the country Stombeck (because that other Landt theilß washed away into the lagoon theilß with fisher Heuser is besetzet) andt 5 Mrg. ALSS andt an excess of the lauff Dorff Wilkeimb ". The name is familiar as an old Stombeck corridor designation, the place is called officially, but Neufitte. Only with increasing loss of land and the implementation of the fishermen's houses on higher lying areas, the transportable Stombeck AME in the second half of the 18th Century more and more common. After the task is not to be held on Neufitte pitcher in 1800, the name Stombeck established final. the significance of the place name Stombeck: a Beek is a ditch, a creek. The "Stom" might "in the" mean Beek, assuming the near flowing into the lagoon Lobitter Beek as a reference. Perhaps it was in ancient times and occasionally a ditch with that description.The term Vitte (Vitte = Swedish bank, top) indicates originally temporary fishing settlements on the sea beach when fishing where the fish processed in the fishing season and the networks have been repaired. The name comes more often from the lagoon: Conradtsvitte, Schaaksvitte. The name of New-suggests that there is a new foundation, so it was not a populated place since the earliest times.
must also be noted that this discussion here is not identical to that Neufitte Neufitte, which can be the usual Meßtischblättern cards and find the modern era, So the place located west of and north of Stombeck Pomehnen and belonged to the office Laptau. The Neufitte, which we treat here, has already been irretrievably lost since about 1800. The west of the lagoon located Stombeck island called "Old Jug Island is a remnant of the defunct Neufitte. Taking into account ancient sources, allows the lead to the conclusion that in earlier centuries, a land connection between Stombeck and the island was that the entire Haffbucht west of Stombeck time was a closed land area from which the later remaining island and "t the Stombecke "slightly higher stood out.
We already know that there was a pitcher on Neufitte Office, which was sold 1679 in private hands. The economics of office there, David Krueger Landel bought him for 1,000 marks, but with the condition that he be allowed to sell only official beer. Own brewery right is not conceded. The pitcher is so previously, state, electoral possession. Now it gets a little complicated, because the reigning Elector Frederick William, for his wise policy in the Swedish-Polish problems of inheritance, which earned him the sole sovereignty over Prussia, known as "the Great Elector," called - that elector had debts to its management officials or military. These liabilities as he was, as he pledged the revenues of offices. The income from the so-called Powundischen Probsteydörfer flowed since 1670 on land v. Rath Epping. The Lord v. Epping would like to see not geschmählert the revenue from these villages through the excessive expenditure on the maintenance of the jug on Neufitte. For 1670-79, the coastal region and the pitcher is substantially damaged by flooding and ice conditions.
In winter 1669 -70 Haffküste and seems to have been taken Neufitte bad as this letter can be clear:

The fishermen of Neufitte can pay their taxes in 1676 not because they harmed the country or even washed away by flooding was. The elector assigned to investigations, in order to ascertain whether a tax exemption is justified:

We learn from this letter that the region has been previously pledged before. The family v.Rapp (d / n) is since the time of Duke Albrecht high administration officials. The Samland v.Rappes are on different goods established. The pledge to stem the rapper is 1645 already abgolten for some time. The income and services from the Powundischen Probsteydörfern flow back into the electoral fund and be allocated to the pitcher in Neufitte. The jug belongs to the Office Neuhausen, is therefore not in private hands. The pitcher itself is brewed, the farmers have to provide for the Braubetreib firewood and to provide for the bank protection.
I have not found an extensive file that was created a few years later, but much more information about the origin and Organization includes the resort Neufitte. This file from the 1647 addresses a sensitive issue: embezzlement, taking advantage in office, fraud, extortion, assault - that's what the allegations are in today's lawyers Pache. Accused the manager on Neufitte. An administrator who manages the pitcher Neufitte as a branch of the Office Neuhausen, which cashed the Office shall be charges from the farmers and fishermen of the villages under his command and also to provide as official of his responsibilities for law and order. Let's look to the documents:
Churfürstl reqs. Dhrt. command to Brandenburg, our most gracious gentlemen, sub Dato 27 May 1647 by the administrator in the Newell Vitte Hanss Barstorffen , the bey of 1644, and 1645 examine 1646sten Notirte Mängell year bill, is that the 10 residents in the new Vitte andt their Häußerchen a Hube keep 20 acres of meadows Usage, which of the Dorff Willkaymenn removed. The same 10 residents give three kinds of Zinsser. ALSS first place, had any interest-10 mk. Afterwards Freygeldt 5 mk unndt Fischer then Zinsser after Haaf order.
had the interest had to bring the manager of Ao 1641 at 100mK year completely, so that may depart from the stretchers interest is not considered ohn damahls there have been only two fishermen, the others have some gesaßet, imm other, third and Vierden Year: so, however, may reach the manager of the introduced, but not received 100mK, he has brought to Ao 1645 no Freygeldt, but ad ratione you have taken to Ao in 1645 because it was the same, have unndt gezinset to me [aeli] in 1646 following gestaldt :
Before we look at now, how many have paid the particular individual listed fishermen in the years 1641-46 in interest (taxes) is to note that in 1641 only 2 fishermen were located in Neufitte and the other 8 in the years after and after this came from. It further states that were taken for the place Neufitte a Hube and 20 acres from the existing village Willkymen (Will Keim). This leads one to suspect that Neufitte and the pitcher were built there until recently. Is supported by information in the presumption of official accounts of older Neuhausen. In the 1630s the area of the village is still undiminished Will Keim indicated as 20 hides, while called from 1640 only 18 hides and 10 acres! It is conceivable that Neufitte represents something of an administrative "Vorwerk" Neuhausen of the Office and by the settlement of fishermen, the revenue of the region should be raised. As stated in other acts, is Neufitte increasingly driven by the teamsters from Königsberg, which embark from there towards "Mümmel (Memel), to continue to drive north towards Riga. In Neufitter pitcher you wait for boats and good weather. The locally produced beer keeps the people waiting in good spirits and washes revenue for the coffers of the Office. But first comes in Neuhausen any money. The administrator of Neufitte collects and manages its business:
Jacob Spiring Schmaucks has dwelt or six years, the 1st à 12mk - the rest 15mk à ~ 87mk

Unndt this is the cause, wherefore in the first 4 years no Freygeldt introduced. The fisherman is Zinsser belang selfsame end they have the first four years not given because it wants all of the rough from wurzell andt of Grundt iedtwedes müßenn cause. -This is another indication of resettlement took place recently - but The Anno 1645 only 4 of 600 fishermen Ao46 sacks just from Keutell boht Zinsser earned: is by the administrator under unndt nachleßigkeit beaten; Sintemahl it when!

Caspar Rusch Nick Erhart .. Argau
Waß Hanss Barstorff, former manager in Newen Vitte virtue of the investigations andt the given real functions Sr. Churfr Dhrt schuldigk verbleibet: it follows a detailed list of items with the final total of 1756mk 46ß . The following sheets contain an inventory of livestock, household items and supplies. It looks as if all property is confiscated, to be charged against the not properly settled or embezzled income be. The administrator Hans Barstorff is imprisoned. What happens next with him, is no longer reported in this Act.
I have here copies of the files shown almost complete, because on one hand the circumstances at the time described as colorful, on the other hand, because it is the earliest sources. The church records of Powunden have survived until 1738. perform all acts, the family names from the period before 1738, are therefore of particular interest.
To sum up, from the sources found here in conjunction with the already known documents reveals clearly that the place Neufitte / Stombeck in 1640 by the Office Neuhausen was constituted. be located addition to the newly established Office pitcher by and by fishermen who build their own houses and make the land under cultivation: "Weill you everything from the rough andt wurzell of Grundt cause of iedtwedes müßenn " they pay in the first years no or less taxes. A new pitcher will need the official councils, because otherwise in the enclave of the Office Powundischen Neuhausen is no official pitcher, where you can brew is delivered by the farmers as a natural means of paying profitable barley to beer. Will the existing jars in the bud, and Schmiedehnen Correynen are privately owned and mostly have their own brewing right.
