Żagań, Administrative district in western Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland
Żagań County encompasses 1,131 square kilometers of territory, containing five towns and numerous rural communities along the Bóbr River in western Poland.
The county territory underwent significant transformations after World War II when the Potsdam Conference established new borders, bringing Polish settlers to former German lands.
The region maintains strong military connections through the Polish 11th Armoured Cavalry Division and regular American military presence under Operation Atlantic Resolve.
The county administrative center provides essential government services to approximately 80,000 residents through a network of nine municipal districts called gminas.
The area gained international recognition for Stalag Luft III, where Allied prisoners executed a mass escape attempt during World War II.
