Strange. I just tried tinyurl.com/oy3owrh and it worked perfectly for me. Here's how it starts: "Schullwitz is a district in the east of the Saxon capital of Dresden. It is located in the suburbs of the same district and part of the village Schönfeld-Weissig."
I think you're right about the Jewish variants. I just checked Guggenheimer & Guggenheimer's dictionary and they have Shulevitz et al. as derived from Schul which is a kinnui for Saul.
