I know a Jewish family named Bistritsky. I'm almost sure that they are named from the town they came from. The family is still around, although the father is deceased. If you think it worthwhile, I'll try to locate them.

You should be able to locate this on a modern map, which may well help you with locating it on an old map. I've not found any other German names for it, although it's not unusual for places in that area to have two German names, one of which is often a version of the Polish name.
