Located on the Oder river, directly opposite the city of Frankfurt (Oder) in Germany, of which it was a part until 1945 (as "Dammvorstadt"). As of the 2001 census, the town had a total population of 16,909.

Previously located in the Gorzów Wielkopolski Voivodeship (1975-1998), the town is currently the capital of Słubice County. The name Słubice is a modern Polish version of "Zliwitz", a settlement east of the Oder River mentioned in Frankfurt's city charter in 1253. [http://www.slubice.pl/?lang=en]

Słubice was the setting for the 2003 film "Distant Lights" as well as for scenes in the 2002 film "Grill Point".

Eurotown

Given its proximity to Germany, the town is an important transport hub and is closely linked to its German sister city west of the Oder-Neisse line. Słubice shares many of its urban amenities with Frankfurt (Oder) and both towns collaborate on various projects such as the Wastewater Treatment Plant that was created for the needs of both towns in Słubice or the extension of some of the Viadrina European University's departments on the Polish side of the border. Furthermore, Słubice is part of a special Słubice-Kostrzyn Economic Zone.
