Impressions:
Schützendorf is based near the route 112 from Gollnow to Stepenitz. It consists only of one small road with the farms and houses on the left and right. It looks like these are the old german houses, but not always in a good shape, like in other villages. It's very quiet here, no shops or church. The old cemetary is at the northern edge, hidden in the woods. Some old graves are still visible, but it's mainly destroyed. It was impossible for me to read some names on the left pieces of the gravestones. I don't have actual population-figures, but it will be less then the 200 inhabitants before the war.
