Germany-Poland Border

The Germany-Poland border is a defined international boundary separating the two countries in Central Europe. It spans approximately 460 kilometers, established after World War II and confirmed through treaties like the Treaty of Potsdam (1945). The border runs through diverse landscapes, including forests, rivers, and cities, facilitating legal crossings for residents, travelers, and trade. It is part of the Schengen Zone, allowing passport-free movement for many travelers. The border symbolizes post-war reconciliation and cooperation, though it remains a significant geopolitical marker reflecting historical changes and contemporary European integration efforts.
