Village Wicko ( Vietzig )
History
Vietzig in earlier times had been a noble residence. In the 18th century the village was owned by the family of Wussow. Around 1780 there were in Vietzig: a Vorwerk, seven farmers, six Kossäten, an inn, a smithy and a schoolmaster. On the field mark of the village, the Vorwerk Gorke was called with a Kuhpächterei and two crofts, small Vietzig or Wussowke. Overall, there were 30 in the village hearths (households). Owner of the village in 1780 was George Lawrence of Wussow.
By 1945 Vietzig belonged to the district of Lauenburg i Pom. in the district of the Prussian province of Pomerania Pomerania.

Towards the end of the Second World War, the region was occupied in the spring of 1945 by the Red Army and then - as the whole of Pomerania - placed under Polish administration. The German village Vietzig was renamed by the Poles in Wicko. It soon began the immigration of Polish settlers who pushed the native Germans from their homes and farms. The native German population was expelled to about 1947, pursuant to the so-called Bierut Decrees from the site.
