What this page is

This page gathers what Cultural Heritage Online documents in Guben, Germany: the entries are the ones already published, each with its own sources, its position and its photographs. It is the shortest way to everything we hold in the city, and it is updated as the archive grows.

Why visit

Guben is a divided town: the Oder–Neisse line of 1945 cut it in two, and the part on the Polish bank is now Gubin — one place with two names and two states.

Origins and history

A trade settlement existed here since the 11th century: in the early 11th century the place was part of the early Polish state under Bolesław I the Brave, and later it fell to the March of Lusatia. Around 1200 it developed as a market on the roads between Leipzig and Poznań and between Görlitz and Frankfurt an der Oder.
