Boy, I'm not finding anything in Posen.

Especially 'Regina'. No listings anywhere in the German empire.

There was a 'Lublinitz' in Silesia which was both a city and a Kreis ('county').
Also 2 'Lubin' in Posen, Kreis Kosten & Kreis Mogilno.
The one in Kreis Kosten was central Posen. The southwest part Kreis Mogilno
extended to the border with Congress Poland, and Lubin was about 20 km from
the border.
Lublinitz in Silesia was close to the border on Silesia's east side.

There were two 'Beuthen's, both in Silesia, one in centrally-located Kreis
Freystadt (but south of a large town called 'Lu"ben'. The other was a Kreis
and it's county seat on the eastern border of Silesia. It was south and a
little east of Lublinitz (see above).

However, I'm more than a little suspicious that Regina Lublin is not a
location, but just mangled notes and a person's name only.
I'm afraid that you may have to reconstruct this research to be sure of
what you are looking for.
