District

Märkisch-Oderland, located in the heart of Europe between the German capital Berlin and the Republic of Poland with a landscape marked by

• vast forest and lake districts
• natural river valley meadows
• caves dating back to the ice age                                               

is not only a popular recreation area with an intact environment.

It offers all prerequisites for a powerful economic area:

• a well-developed infrastructure
• economic and fully developed commercial and industrial  areas
• a qualified labor force potential and an investor-friendly administration

are ideal factors for investors wanting to settle or expand.

Together with

•  the city of Frankfurt/Oder and
• the Oder-Spree district

Märkisch-Oderland forms the Oderland-Spree region.

Here, three regional administrative bodies work together on the development
of a mutual residential and industrial area.

On the website www.oderland-spree.de, you will find information about current projects
or contribute actively to the design of our region with tips and suggestions.

The expansion of the EU towards the East is a great opportunity for the border regions
on both sides of the Oder River. From a remote frontier location, it moves into the center
of Europe. This makes Märkisch-Oderland a link between

• the capital of Berlin and
• the Poznan metropolis.

Our district is a member in Euroregion "Pro Europa Viadrina" – an instrument
of transborder cooperation between German and Polish regional administrative bodies.
