Oder–Neisse line, Political border along rivers between Germany and Poland.

The Oder-Neisse line follows two major rivers, creating a natural boundary that stretches 472 kilometers from the Baltic Sea to the Czech Republic.

The border emerged from the 1945 Potsdam Conference decisions, which redefined European territories after World War II and led to population movements.

This border zone contains numerous crossing points where German and Polish communities regularly interact through trade, education, and social exchanges.

Travelers can cross the border at multiple locations, with major checkpoints located in Frankfurt Oder, Gorlitz, and Szczecin providing 24-hour access.

The border formation caused one of the largest demographic changes in European history, affecting the lives of more than 8 million people.
