As far as still existing(!) the registry records of the former Eastern Provinces of Germany are available at the Standesamt I in Berlin (https://www.berlin.de/labo/buergerdienste/standesamt-i-in-berlin/).
You can place an online request (https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/326181/) but you need to prove that you are entitled to get a copy (basically only direct decendants will get access to a birth record during the 120 yr privacy period).
Please note that many documents from the eastern part of Germany (now Poland) were lost after World War II.
Note: The correct German spelling is Guttstadt.
