In 1124-1125 we have remarks about the new Bishop of Lebus nominated by Boleslaus III Wrymouth under Arzbishopric in Gniezno. However, the Arzbishopric Magdeburg also tried to become overlord of Lebus.

In 1276 the site of bishopry was moved to Gorzyca, east from Oder. In 1325 Ladislaus II of Poland allied with bishop Stephan II and cathedral in Gorzyca was devastated by Brandenburg raid. The site of bishopry again moved to new cathedral in Lebus. In 1373 the bishopry was again devastated by Bohemian Carl IV of Luxembourg army. The site of bishopry moved to Fuerstenwalde.
