On the Posen-L website, under PLACES => Location Tools, if you search the
Catholic parish database, you'll find:

COMMUNITY GERMAN NAME KREIS PARISH
Glashutte Niewiemko Kolmar Chodziez

The town and its "county" of Chodsiesen (Polish "Chodziez") was renamed to
Kolmar about 1879 when the railroad arrived.
Glashutte and Neuhutte may be two names for the same place, and is likely to
be west of Usch or at least northwest of Kolmar, where porcelain was
produced.
So, "Kreis Cotsiesen, Reb. Bz. Bromberg Germany" should be "Kreis
Chodsiesen, RegBz. Bromberg Germany" (Regierungsbezirk = "Administrative
district", Posen province had two, Bromberg and Posen)

I don't have maps here, will try to remember to check them tonight.
