About Frankfurt (Oder)

A Hanseatic city on the German-Polish border

Frankfurt (Oder) is a historic Hanseatic city set along the wide, calm flow of the Oder river, directly facing the Polish town of Słubice. Founded in 1253, it grew as an important trading hub of the Hanseatic League; its medieval wealth still echoes in its brick-gothic architecture — from the imposing town hall to the monumental St. Mary's Church and its celebrated stained-glass windows.

Over the centuries the city also became a centre of learning, today home to the cross-border European University Viadrina. The bridge linking Frankfurt (Oder) with Słubice stands as a symbol of modern German-Polish cooperation. Visitors find a peaceful, walkable city where medieval architecture, academic tradition and riverside calm come together — the Oder promenade, the Kleist Museum and quiet parks all within a short stroll.
