Uckermark district inBrandenburg ,Germany . It is located on the West bank of theOder River , about 30 km south ofSzczecin ("Stettin").In

Gryfino ("Greifenhagen"). Gartz is part ofLower Oder Valley National Park .The name derives from northern
Lechitic (Proto-Polish) dialects (namely from West Pomeranian) from the word "gard" < *gord , meaning "fortified settlement".Towns near Gartz
