Please excuse my interfering.
I do not think your ancestor was a MORITZ, but he may rather have been an
EGGERT ! (I do not exclude that he changed his name to MORITZ instead.)
He was born in Buetow (u with two dots on top); Koselin Statin may stand
for Stadtkreis Koeslin (o with two dots on top) - there used to be a
difgfernce between a Kreis that included mainly rhew town and possibly
some suburbs = Stadtkreis and a Kreis that consisted of villages
the administration of which was in the same city. You have your court
houses that way.
When you mention Pommeria and Pommer - they are the same thing, but you
might either spell them in correct German: POMMERN or Pomerania.
Koeslin is now Polish Koszalin - but a person born in Koeslin has been
born in Koeslin, a person born in the samew place after 1945 in Koszalin.
(Kreis in Polish often maintained the same, in Polish it is a powiat.)
Stettin (Polish: Szczecin) was and is the capital of Pommern.

Normally people from Pommern and Schleswig-Holstein have little in
common, but maybe...
I do not know and cannot find Aronholz and / or Altonholz on my good
maps, however. Would love to find out what you mean.
Hope I did not disturb you too much. Try to help where I see mistakes.
Best regards
