[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Zakrzewo

[Jerry Frank]

The only Zakrzewo known in this specific region is located on the north 
bank of the Wisla River, about 13 km west northwest of Wyszogrod and next 
to Kepa Polska.  Today it is known as Zakrzewo Koscielne ( = Zakrzewo Church).

Although many German settlements in Poland were known as Holendry, I don't 
think there is any direct connection between the name Zakrzewo and the word 
Holanden or Holendry.  Sometimes Holendry is a noun and describes a 
specific location but it is most commonly used as an adjective as the 
second word in a place name.  It is possible I suppose that at some point 
in history, this place may have been known as Zakrzewo Holendry instead of 
Zakrzewo Koscielne.
