Old Wieck belonged to the Reformation in 1535 in Pomerania to the Monastery Buckow . Then it was transferred to the ducal office of Rügenwalde . Its history is closely linked to that of Wieck (now Polish: Wiekowice), through which it became the Eventin (Iwięcino) district in the Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district Köslin belonged. By belonging to Wieck, Alt Wieck was civilly connected to Abtshagen (Dobiesław).
With the expansion of the Stettin - Köslin railway to Schlawe in 1870, Alt Wieck received a great economic boost from the station built here. It became a loading station for the villages of Wieck (Wiekowice), Abtshagen , Neuenhagen Abtei (Jeżyczki), Pirbstow (Przystawy), Martinshagen (Grabowo), Panknin (Pękanino), Nemitz (Niemica), Göritz (Gorzyca), Kuhtz (Kusice), Klein - and Groß Soltikow (Sulechówko and Sulechowo) and Zitzmin (Sieciemin). On the days when the various cattle dealers took off, the farm wagons formed long lines. The livestock was loaded into the railway wagons destined for Stettin and Berlin . Other agricultural products also found their way to urban consumers via Alt Wieck.
Alt Wieck himself was able to call up all the major commercial operations in large numbers by 1945, as well as a gendarmerie station, a train station and a dental practice.
Towards the end of the Second World War , Alt Wieck was occupied by the Red Army on March 5, 1945 and then part of Poland.
