Dear Ron:
Do you have access to the following 4-part work?
Repertorium aller Oerter und anderer Gegenstaende in der
topographisch-militaerischen Charte von Teutschland in 204 Blaettern.
- Weimar: Geographisches Institut, 1812-13. - 4 vol.; 22cm. -
Contents: 1te Abtheilung: Nordoestliches Viertel [NE quarter] (256p.)
- 2te Abth.: Suedosestliches Viertel [SE quarter] (216p.) - 3te Abth.:
Nordwestliches Viertel [NW quarter] (326p.) - 4te Abth.:
Suedwestliches Viertel [SW quarter] (228p.)
The pagination excludes preliminaries (including an index map showing
sheet numbers of places/features listed in the gazetteer); each page is
double-columned - so the work is not as small as you might imagine!
There are 4 x Biesdorf (and 1 x Biensdorf & 1 x Biendorf) and 1 x
Kreidelwitz (the 'i' is interchangeable with a 'y' at this time) in the
NE vol.; there are 3 x Biesdorf (and 1 x Biessdorf & 2 x Biendorf) in
the NW vol.; and 1 x Bierdorf in the SW vol. There is a 'Grammentin'
in the NE vol. in what may have been Brandenburg at one point of its
boundary changes. I suggest, if you cannot get to this publication
(and the set of maps), that we discuss the problem, narrowing down the
possibilities of your Bien/Bier/Bies-dorf[s], off-list (to avoid boring
the pants of other readers) as we have the complete work here in the
RGS.
Best wishes
