Towards the end of the Second World War, on March 8, 1945, the residents of Reitz began a trek to escape the approaching Red Army and reached Marienfelde, which belonged to the Lojow estate.

After the end of the hostilities, the region was handed over to the People's Republic of Poland for administration by the Soviet occupying forces.

Although after the end of the war the region became part of People's Republic of Poland, Redzikowo and its airfield remained under Russian control until 1950.

The governments of the United States and Poland approved the building and operation of an Aegis Ashore AN/SPY-1 system adjacent to the village.

They are part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach to regional missile defence against threats from Iran and includes Aegis radar-capable ships based at Rota, Spain, and AN/TPY-2 radar in Turkey (operational since 2011).
