Neulietzegöricke is the oldest colonist village in the Oderbruch. After the Oderbruch was drained, Frederick the Great had the place created as the first colonist village in 1753. It got its name from the village of Alt Lietzegöricke on what is now the Polish side of the Oder. It is of Slavic origin and means something like bare mountain.
Neulietzegöricke was laid out as an elongated street village. The shaft or water drainage ditch was created in the middle of the village, between the two village streets. The excavation was sensibly used to raise the height of the colonists' houses. Only public buildings were allowed to stand in the center of the village, these were the church, the school and the inn.
The place with its many restored half-timbered houses is now a listed building as a village ensemble of the oldest colonist village in the Oderbruch from 1753.
