Schwedt/Oder, Border city in Uckermark District, Germany

The city extends across 360 square kilometers along the Oder River, forming a natural boundary between Germany and Poland at 6 meters elevation.

Documentary records first mentioned Schwedt in 1265, when the Brandenburg margraves acquired the settlement with its Pomeranian castle from local dukes.

The establishment of an operetta theatre in 1771 positioned Schwedt among the first German theatre cities, initiating a lasting performing arts tradition.

The PCK Raffinerie connects to the Druzhba pipeline network, processing 20 million cubic meters of water yearly for industrial operations.

The Lower Oder Valley National Park near Schwedt provides natural habitats for ospreys, beavers, and otters within the river landscape.
