colonist village of Neulietzegöricke

In 1753, Neulietzegöricke was founded as a long, stretched-out street village by the Prussian King Frederick II after the Oderbruch was drained. In the middle of the village, between the two village streets, a so-called Schachtgraben, a water drainage ditch, was dug. The oldest colonist village in this region is a listed village. The townscape is dominated by a row of half-timbered houses with thirteen buildings, including the "Zum feuchten Willi" restaurant in the former village pub. These include the village church built in 1842 in late classicist style with a rectangular hall and square west tower. The ensemble also includes residential buildings with stables and barns, as well as the completely preserved four-sided Borkenhagen farm with a dovecote. The town is particularly easy to explore on foot.

The name "Lietzegöricke" comes from the Wendish language and means something like "bare hills, bare mountains". The district of Ferdinandshof belongs to Neulietzegöricke. Built in 1755 by Prince August Ferdinand, it was a former royal domain. It is just under 2,5 kilometers to the Oder. Hiking on the Oder dam is a good option, and the path is also popular with cyclists and skaters.
