Müncheberg

The town of Müncheberg stands between Berlin and the Polish border, featuring preserved sections of medieval walls and defense towers from its early fortifications.

Cistercian monks established Müncheberg between 1225 and 1232, receiving land grants from Henry I the Bearded, Duke of Lower Silesia.

The town experienced significant demographic changes when Huguenot refugees settled in the area around 1700, contributing to its population recovery after the Thirty Years' War.

Modern Müncheberg functions as a regional center with educational facilities, local businesses, and direct railway connections to Berlin established since 1867.

During April 1945, the town became a focal point of military operations, resulting in the destruction of 85 percent of its structures.
