Wriezen (German pronunciation: [ˈvʁiːt͡sn̩] ⓘ) is a town in the district Märkisch-Oderland, in Brandenburg, in north-eastern Germany, near the border with Poland. It is situated 11 km (7 mi) southeast of Bad Freienwalde.

Etymology

The name is of medieval Slavic Lechitic origin, and comes from the words we and rice or rika (modern Polish: rzeka, Lower Sorbian: rěka), which means "on the river".[3] The modern Polish name is Wrzecień.[4]

History

From 1373 to 1411, it was part of the Bohemian (Czech) Crown under the House of Luxembourg.[5] In 1375, the town's privileges were confirmed on the condition, that the Bohemian Kings could build a fortress in the town without any obstacles.[5]

From 1701, Wriezen was part of the

Polish forces.[6] From 1947 to 1952 of the State of Brandenburg, from 1952 to 1990 of the Bezirk Frankfurt of East Germany
and since 1990 again of Brandenburg.
