Polish border guards in Szczecin

The Polish Border Guard unit in Szczecin is a state security organization that operated at the German-Polish frontier, overseeing both maritime and terrestrial crossing points in this strategic area. The facility housed administrative offices, training centers, and coordination hubs for managing border control activities.

The unit was established on May 16, 1991, when Poland restructured its security forces following the transition away from communist rule into specialized civil organizations. Operations ceased on October 1, 2013, with maritime protection responsibilities transferred to other regional departments of the national border guard service.

The border guards in Szczecin maintain professional relationships with German counterparts, fostering international cooperation for effective border management between both nations.

The location sits in central Szczecin at Stefana Batorego Street 4, accessible by public transport or personal vehicle. The facility is no longer in operation and is not open to public visits today.

The unit ceased operations on October 1, 2013, transferring its maritime border protection responsibilities to other regional departments of the Polish Border Guard.
