## About

Kostrzyn nad Odrą is a town at the meeting of the Warta and Oder rivers on Poland’s German border. Its ruined old town preserves the outline of a former fortress city.

## Notes

Not Kostrzyn near Poznań. The modern German municipality Küstriner Vorland is across the border, not an alternative name for the Polish town. Missing input identifiers remain empty. Input label is Ukrainian or indirect; local\_name gives the native spelling.
