Brandenburg/Berlin

I have got only very little information about my husband's family in Brandenburg.
Around 1845 Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Linke moves from Zielenzig in East Brandenburg (today in Poland) to Berlin . Here he marries Caroline Henriette Kräuter in 1848.
Six children are born to them in Berlin and baptised in Luisenstadtkirche.
In 1890 Otto Max Linke, the fifth child, marries in Wittenberg/Sachsen-Anhalt Anna Lubisch and together they move to Apolda/ Thüringen.

Caroline Henriette Kräuter is born 1824 in Werbellinerkanalkolonie near Groß Schönebeck, north of Berlin. Her parents Martin Friedrich Kräuter und Marie Walpurgis Heiseler live there as colonists.
In 1791 Martin Kräuter is baptised in Groß Schönebeck but I dont't know where they marry and where his wife is born.
Martin Kräuter was not just colonist, but also a school warden of the colony.
In 1839 he dies in terrible circumstances: together with 44 year old F.W. Heise he breaks through the ice at the lake Üder and both men drown.
