[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Grossdorf in Russian Poland?

I have in front of me a WW II Abschrift certifying the 1844 marriage of 
Johann Schulz and Anna Luise Rezlaw.

The bride was born in Klein Orlin which I know is between Zagarow and 
Grodziec.  The groom was born in Laski.  There are some options for that 
but, assuming proximity to Klein Orlin, it is probably the one near Turek.

The document states that the marriage is recorded in the Grossdorf Lutheran 
Parish records.

I have never heard of a Grossdorf parish in Russian Poland.  Does anyone 
know where it might be?

I found some villages in Posen named Grossdorf but they appear to be much 
too small to be associated with a parish centre.  These places are also 
referred to by the Polish name, Wielka Wies.  That still does not help me 
to identify the parish location.

Any ideas as to where this parish is?

Thanks.
