history
Vietzig had been an aristocratic residence in earlier times. In the 18th century the village was owned by the von Wussow family. Around 1780 there were in Vietzig: a farm, seven farmers, six cottages , an inn, a forge and a schoolmaster. The Vorwerk Gorke with a cow leasehold and two cottages, called Klein-Vietzig or Wussowke , was on the field of the village . There were a total of 30 fireplaces (households) in the village. The owner of the village around 1780 was George Lorenz von Wussow.
Until 1945 Vietzig belonged to the district of Lauenburg i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The place formed with the communities Gans (now Polish: Gęś) and Scharschow (Skarszewo) the district of Vietzig. The responsible registry office was in Charbrow ( 1939–1945 Degendorf , today in Polish Charbrowo ), district court area Lauenburg in Pomerania .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 and then - like all of Western Pomerania - placed under Polish administration. Vietzig was renamed Wicko by the Poles . The German population was expelled from the place until around 1947 .
Wicko ( Vietzig ) has belonged to the powiat Lęborski in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship since 1945 (until 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ). It is the official seat of Gmina Wicko. 690 people live in the village today.
church
Evangelical
Before 1945, most of Vietzig's population was of the Protestant denomination. The village did not have its own church - it was in Charbrow ( 1939–1945 Degendorf , today in Polish: Charbrowo), whose parish Vietzig together with Freist (Wrzeście), Labenz (Łebeniec), Nesnachow (Nieznachowo), Nieder- and Oberkomsow (Komaszewo) ), Roschütz (Roszczyce, with its own chapel), Scharschow (Skarszewo) and Speck (Gać) it belonged.
The parish Charbrow was in the parish of Lauenburg in Pomerania in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in 1940 had a total of 2846 parishioners. The last German clergyman was the missionary of the Berlin Mission Society and pastor Kurt Trowitzsch .
The Protestant church members in Wicko have been a small minority since 1945. The responsible rectory is now that of the Kreuzkirche in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland . The next church village is Główczyce ( Glowitz ), where a former stable was converted into a church and parish hall.
Catholic
Before 1945 only a few Catholic church members lived in Vietzig. The parish in Lauenburg in Pomerania , to whose church they belonged, was responsible for them. That changed after 1945: now they belong to the parish Charbrowo ( Charbrow ), which is incorporated into the deanery Łeba ( Leba ) in the diocese of Pelplin in the Catholic Church in Poland .
