History

From the High Middle Ages the region was part of the Kingdom of Poland, Margraviate of Brandenburg, Czech Kingdom, Teutonic Order, Brandenburg again, Prussia and Germany from 1871 to 1945, administratively located at that time in the Province of Brandenburg (Frankfurt Region), and again Poland after the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.

When part of Prussia, after the drainage of the Oderbruch, in 1753 a new village, the present Neulietzegöricke, was founded including wetlands formerly used by people from then Lietzegöricke, and therefore named after it. Lietzegöricke later adopted a name extension as Alt-Lietzegöricke (Alt and Stare both meaning "old"), and was renamed again after 1945.

gollark: This seems far too large and complex for anyone to care.
gollark: I wonder which parts they can't get.
gollark: Huh, wow, Raspberry Pis are actually utterly unobtainable right now.
gollark: My server spends most of its time at about 5% CPU load, but occasionally I have some weirdly overly computation-heavy job which makes it actually useful.
