The Lords of Möhringen are known from the 13th century . At the turn of the 13th to the 14th century, the village was later owned by the Bishop of Cammin , from whom it was taken over in 1305 by the Szczecin citizen Johannes von Brakel. In 1397 Möhringen came into the possession of the Kartause Gottesgnaden in Grabow.

A windmill in Möhringen was mentioned in a document as early as the 14th century. In 1628 the mill was sovereign property and belonged to the Old Stettin Office. In the 18th century, the residents of Möhringen were forced to eat at the mill.

During the Third Napoleonic War , the surrender of Szczecin was signed in 1806 in the rectory of Möhringen.

In the 1920s vehicles, mainly motorcycles, of the Alba brand were produced in Möhringen .

At the beginning of the 1930s, the district of Möhringen had an area of ​​8.7 km², and there were a total of 75 houses in two different places of residence on the parish grounds:

From 1818 to 1939 Möhringen belonged to the Randow district in the Stettin administrative district in the Pomeranian province . In 1939 Möhringen was incorporated into the city of Stettin, where it remained until 1945.
