My grandfather's birth certificate shows, that he was born in Herrenwiese,
Kreis Königsberg in der Neumark.

Where is Neumark? Does it mean the county Königsberg in eastprussia?

any info appreciated, thank you

The part of the prussian "Provinz Brandenburg" east of the river Oder was
called "Neumark" with following borders:
west : river Oder
south: Lower Silesia
north: Pomerania
east: Posen

"Königsberg in der Neumark" is nowadays in Poland and is called Chojna. I
could find a location Herrendorf (Chl/opowo) in this area, but no
Herrenwiese east of river Oder.

West of todays riverbed of river Oder (i.e. in Germany and in the area
called "Oderbruch") is:

16259 Herrenwiese Post Letschin, in the community of Neulewin.

I don't know your timeframe but it is possible that the Neumark border was
then along the "old" riverbed of Oder, west of the area Oderbruch.

There is a church (but without a denomination):

Pfarramt
Dorfstr.58
16259 Karlsbiese P Neulewin

but perhaps you check at the community administration for appropriate
archives:

Gemeindeverwaltung
Neubarnim Dorfstr.96
15324 Neubarnim

The Neumark is that portion of the Mark Brandenburg East of the Oder river. The Königsberg you refer to is located North of Küstrin and will bear today a Polish name.
