Niewisch

Niewisch is a district of the independent city of Friedland in the Landkreis Oder-Spree. In the early modern period, it, along with Pieskow and Speichrow, belonged to the three "water villages," also known as "Zieckoschen estates." Until its incorporation into Friedland in 2001, Niewisch was an independent municipality.

Niewisch is located about four kilometers southwest of Friedland and about eleven kilometers south-southwest of Beeskow on the eastern shore of Schwielochsee. When Möllen was incorporated in 1950, its district was also dissolved and merged with the district of Niewisch. The district of Niewisch borders the district of the city of Friedland to the north, the district of Karras to the east, Schadow to the southeast, Pieskow to the south, and Schwielochsee, which belongs to the district of Speichrow, to the west and northwest. The village can be reached via the L 441, which branches off from the B 168 at Wuggelmühle; the L 441 continues through the village towards Pieskow. Niewisch includes the inhabited district of Möllen and the residential area Voigtmühle. Southwest of the village center, there is a holiday home settlement along the shore of Schwielochsee.
