Zgorzelec County, Administrative county in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Zgorzelec County is an administrative county in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, located in southwestern Poland near the borders with Germany and the Czech Republic. The county seat of Zgorzelec oversees seven gminas that combine urban, rural, and mixed populations.

The county was established in 1999 following Poland's administrative reforms and was previously part of the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship. This reorganization reshaped the region's governance structure and local administration.

The county maintains strong connections with neighboring German territories through regular cross-border initiatives and collaborative municipal projects between local communities.

Visitors can expect to find local administrative centers and municipal services distributed across the seven gminas, with Zgorzelec serving as the main hub. The proximity to German and Czech borders makes the region accessible for cross-border travel and exploration.

Vehicle registration plates from this region display the code DZG, which immediately identifies cars from Zgorzelec. This marking serves as a daily reminder of local identity for residents and travelers passing through.
