This territory belonged to Poland at the time of Prince Mieszko I of Poland, the founder of Poland. It was soon erected to a bishopric. In 1124-1125 records note the new Bishop of Lebus nominated by Boleslaus III Wrymouth under the Archbishopric of Gniezno. The Archbishopric of Magdeburg, however, also tried to obtain control of Lebus. In 1252, the Archbishopric of Magdeburg and Brandenburg bought the bishopric from the petty Polish Prince Boleslaus Rogatka. It was later incorporated into Brandenburg. In 1276 the site of the bishopric was moved to Gorzyca, east of the Oder river. In 1325 Ladislaus II of Poland allied with bishop Stephan II and Brandenburg raided the area, burning the cathedral in Gorzyca. The see of the bishopric was moved again, this time to a new cathedral in Lebus. In 1373 the bishopric was again devastated by an army of Bohemian Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor. The see of the bishopric now moved to Fürstenwalde. In 1424 the bishopric was moved from the overlordship of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg leaving Polish province of the church. The last Catholic bishop was Georg von Blumenthal, who died in 1550 after a heroic non-military counter-reformationary campaign. Since 1555-1598 the bishopric was secularised and became a Lutheran diocese. At this time, all links with Poland had been severed. In 1701 Kingdom of Prussia, 1871 Imperial Germany.
