## About

Zgorzelec is a Polish town on the Lusatian Neisse opposite Görlitz in Germany. It grew from the eastern part of a historic town divided by the postwar border.

## Notes

Zgorzelec and Görlitz are separate present-day municipalities; Görlitz should not replace Zgorzelec on a current map. Input label 'Згожелець' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local\_name is restored to the native-language form. Wikidata ID missing in input, supplied after checking https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q147929 and the town article link.
