Ciecierzyce [t͡ɕɛt͡ɕɛˈʐɨt͡sɛ] (German: Czettritz, 1937-1945: Zettritz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Deszczno, within Gorzów County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-east of Deszczno and 8 km (5 mi) south-east of Gorzów Wielkopolski. Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II). The village has a population of 504.

History

The village was founded in 1758, by order of the king to colonize the Warta valley. Initially, the name, Neu Borkow (Nowy Borek), referred to the nearby, old village. Then, to celebrate the commander of the dragon regiment of Gorzów, Lieutenant General Ernst Heinrich Freiherr von Czetteritz, the name was changed to Gross Czettritz. In 1767 the neighboring colony Klein Czettritz was founded. Both cities were united in 1929.
