Niederausmass (also known as Nieder Ausmaaß, Nieder Ausmaß, Niederuasmaaß, and Niederausmaß, now known as Dolne Wymiary; coordinates: 53.39, 18.5383 [53° 24′ 0″ N, 18° 32′ 0″ E]; population in 1852, 278, in 1905, 353), lies 9 kilometres (6 miles) north-east of Chełmno (Culm), 42 km. (26 miles) north of Toruń, and 48 km. (30 miles) north-east of Bydgoszcz. Oberausmass (also known as Ober Ausmaaß, Ober Ausmaß, Oberausmaaß, and Oberausmaß, now known as Górne Wymiary; coordinates: 53.385, 18.503889 [53° 23′ 6″ N, 18° 30′ 14″ E]; population in 1852, 260, in 1905, 347), lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 miles) east of Chełmno (Culm), 40 km. (25 miles) north of Toruń, and 45 km. (28 miles) north-east of Bydgoszcz.
These two villages in West Prussia, Germany (Polish before 1772 and after 1919), belonging to the territory of the city of Culm (now Chełmno, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland), were largely inhabited by Dutch families who settled there shortly after 1600. Most of them may have been Mennonites. Niederausmass was a Mennonite village belonging to the Schönsee congregation and had a Mennonite school.
