Because the year of birth is within the last 100 years or so there is unlikely to be much online. You may need to start by contacting the civil registry for the relevant towns and ordering birth, marriage or death certificates where you are sure of the date/place.
For example I have a copy of a 2023 death certificate from Germany which gives a birthplace, so it would be possible to then work back from this information. Of course information on death certificates is only as good as the knowledge of the informant.

Do you speak German? If not you'll have to run this through a translation

[Loumor]

No unfortunately I don't speak germa

Google chrome web browser is the easiest to use to get a translation of a page apparently, not being a techno wizard myself!

The family search ones don't seem to be online, but are viewable via family search centres.

The only records I can see online are these deaths, but I am not too familiar with what is available on other Polish websites

It may be worth looking through in case there are any Leistikow or Steinhaus mentioned.
