Stare Łysogórki [ˈstarɛ wɨsɔˈɡurki] (German: Alt-Lietzegöricke) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mieszkowice, within Gryfino County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland, close to the German border.[1] It lies approximately 14 kilometres (9 mi) west of Mieszkowice, 54 km (34 mi) south of Gryfino, and 74 km (46 mi) south of the regional capital Szczecin.
After the drainage of the Oderbruch, in 1753 a new village, the present Neulietzegöricke, was founded including wetlands formerly used by people from then Lietzegöricke, and therefore named after it. Lietzegöricke later adopted a name extension as Alt-Lietzegöricke, and was renamed again after 1945. Before 1945 the area was part of Brandenburg (Frankfurt Region) within Prussia, Germany. For more on the history of the region, see New March.
The village has a population of 150.
