[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Reinke from Marienwerder and Heimthal

[Jerry Frank]

Beatrix,

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marienwerder_%28region%29 

Kreis Schwetz was part of Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder between 1920 and 1939.  Though the Kreis list shows those dates, the text description above it suggests this continued through the end of WW II.  

I don't see any other Brachlin anywhere in former Poland regions.  The only other close match is Bracholin but it is much further away in Posen.
