The Treaty of Zgorzelec (German: Görlitzer Abkommen; Polish: Układ zgorzelecki) was signed in Zgorzelec, Poland, on July 6, 1950. The treaty acknowledged that the Oder-Neisse line was the Polish-German border, as it had been decided during the Potsdam Conference. It was signed by Józef Cyrankiewicz and Otto Grotewohl, the Prime Ministers of Poland and East Germany, respectively.
The building in which the treaty was signed is one of Zgorzelec's main sights and is found in a park beside the road bridge border crossing.
