After WW I the Hinz-family went westwards, perhaps they ‘followed’ the Prussian borders. In 1929 Franz Julius Hinz built a house in Schloppe, Tützer Allee, where he lived until 1942. The members of
the family worked and lived on estates near Schloppe. Maria Veronika worked on the estates of Annaberg, Salm and Marzdorf, all located close to Schloppe. On Annaberg Maria Veronika married the blacksmith Sigismund
Dinski. They lived there at least until 1936 when their third child was born.
After their escape in 1945/46 the siblings of Maria Veronika lived in the former GDR.

Sigismund Dinski was born in Janopol / Lublin as one of 14 children of Wilhelm Dinski (1847 - 1919) and his wife Juliane Stein (1863 - ?later than 1943), they had married in 1880 in Janopol. The twin
of Sigismund was born dead.
The parents of WIlhelm Dinski, Daniel Dinski (1818 - 1893) and Annemarie Anhalt (1810 - 1909?), married in 1840 in Babrick, where the Madi-family is said to come from.
The information concerning the ancestors of Sigismund are taken from a sheet of paper, found in the heritage of Maria Veronika Hinz. It is not known, why she wrote down the information, obviously she
did it before 1943. The origin of Sigmund’s family is not really known, it is just possible that they are Jewish roots.

Together with his family Sigismund came to Klein Rosainen / Niedergehren, in the county of Marienwerder in East Prussia, where he, his mother and at least two sisters got the Prussian
citizenship in 1920. He appremticed with a blacksmith named Schaumann from November 1921 until November 1924. In the second half of 1929 he came to Annaberg.
Later he, his wife and the three children lived in Schloppe, where he had a locksmith’s shop.

His wife and children left Schloppe twice. The first time they escaped the russian army at the beginning of 1944. Their escape lead to Prerow / Darß. In the summer of 1944 they came back, but in
December of 1945 they had to escape again, now it was the polish occupation of the region that caused the escape. (At least two cousins of Sigismund are still living in Poland)
During their escape one part of the family decided to go to Mecklenburg / Vorpommern, where they had been in 1944; the other part decided to go to the British zone and came to Westfalia and Lower
Saxony.
