The village of Quittainen was a part of East Prussia . The estate of the same name was held by the East Prussian noble family Dönhoff until 1945 , when its last overseer , Marion Gräfin Dönhoff , fled from the advancing Red Army on horseback . Ms. Dönhoff , who had been active in the conspiracy against Hitler , eventually became publisher of the liberal weekly Die Zeit . The village , like the rest of southern East Prussia , was awarded by the winning coalition in World War II to Poland and taken from Germany following the Potsdam Conference , and its name was Polonized as Kwitajny . The village has a population of 253
