Stüblau (Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)
Stüblau (also known as Stubelow; now known as Steblewo; coordinates: 54.17988, 18.82974 [54° 10′ 47″ N, 18° 49′ 47″ E]; population in 1905, 451; in 2014, 410) is located 9.1 kilometers (km) (5.7 miles) north north-east of Tczew (Dirschau), 16.0 km (10 miles) south-east of Pruszcz Gdański (Praust), 19.1 km (11.9 miles) west south-west of Nowy Dwór Gdański (Tiegenhof), and 21.7 km (13.5 miles) northwest of Malbork (Marienburg).
Until 1793 Stüblau was part of Danzig in Royal Prussia (also known as Polish Prussia) in the Kingdom of Poland. The Second Partition of Poland in 1793 added Danzig and its surrounding territory to the province of West Prussia. The village was situated in the district (Kreis) of Danzig from 1818 until 1887, when it became part of the district of Dirschau. Stüblau became part of the Free City of Danzig from 1920 until the outbreak of World War II in 1939, when it came under the control of Nazi Germany. In February 1945 it was occupied by Soviet forces and eventually returned to Poland. In 2014 it was a village in the administrative district of Gmina Suchy Dąb, within Gdańsk County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.
Here Dutch Mennonites settled at a very early period (ca. 1543) to drain this swampy area. No Mennonites were listed as living in Stüblau in the 1793 or 1820 census lists for the region.
