Wittenberg^GL, [Kur]sachsen: a city now in Sachsen-Anhalt some 53 miles SW of Berlin, was where Martin Luther started the reformation; a former Duchy which in the 1760’s had been subsumed by Kursachsen.  Said by the Boaro FSL to be home^UC to a Hahn family.  Said by the Lauwe FSL to be home^UC to a Goeringen family, and possibly to a Schmidt family.  Said by the Orlovskaya FSL to be home^UC to a Nickelson family.  Said by the Rosenheim FSL to be home^UC Rosenheim{Carl Christian} and {F.Gotthelf} families.  Said by the Urbach FSL to be home^UC  to a Roeder family.

Wittenberg^GS: sometimes this should be read as Wartenberg, e.g. see Meisenheim^GL, Wittenberg; sometimes it should be read as Wuerttemberg, e.g. see Waltenbuch, Wittenberg.  Except for the Galka FSL which uses it in a very odd way: most localities it mentions as being in an apparently fictional Wittenberg country were widely scattered in Kursachsen, and one was in an isolated piece of Kurpfalz 11 miles ESE of Darmstadt city – all seeminly unrelated and not near the city of Wittenburg, Kursachsen.
