The Lusatian Neisse[1][2][3] (German: Lausitzer Neiße; Polish: Nysa Łużycka; Czech: Lužická Nisa; Upper Sorbian: Łužiska Nysa; Lower Sorbian: Łužyska Nysa), or Western Neisse, is a 252-kilometre (157 mi) river in northern Central Europe.[4][5] It rises in the Jizera Mountains, near Nová Ves nad Nisou, at the Czech border becoming the Polish–German border for its remaining 197 kilometres (122 mi), to flow into the similarly northward-flowing Oder.

Its drainage basin covers 4,403 km2 (1,700 sq mi), of which 2,201 km2 (850 sq mi) in Poland, the rest is mainly in Germany.[6] The river reaches the tripoint of the three nations by Zittau, a German town/city, after 54 kilometres (34 mi), leaving the Czech Republic.[6] It is a left-bank tributary of the Oder, into which it flows between Neißemünde-Ratzdorf and Kosarzyn – north of the towns of Guben and Gubin.

Since the 1945 Potsdam Agreement in the aftermath of World War II, the river has partially demarcated the German-Polish border (along the Oder-Neisse line). While the German population outside was expelled.

It is the longest and most watered of the three rivers of its non-adjectival name in both the main languages (the two other rivers being the Eastern Neisse (Polish: Nysa Kłodzka; German: Glatzer Neisse) and Raging Neisse (Polish: Nysa Szalona; German: Wütende Neiße or Jauersche Neiße)). It is usually simply referred to as the Neisse.


Name


Since the river runs through the historic region of Lusatia, the adjective "Lusatian" or "Western" before the name of the river Neisse is used whenever differentiating this border river from the Eastern Neisse (Polish: Nysa Kłodzka, German: Glatzer Neisse) and the smaller Raging Neisse (Polish: Nysa Szalona; German: Wütende Neisse or Jauersche Neisse), both in Poland.


Towns and villages


At Bad Muskau the Neisse flows through Muskau Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cities and towns on the river from source to mouth include:

[de] Lausitzer Neiße

Die Lausitzer Neiße (obersorbisch Łužiska Nysa; niedersorbisch Łužyska Nysa; tschechisch Lužická Nisa; polnisch Nysa Łużycka; früher auch Görlitzer Neiße) ist ein 254 km langer linker Nebenfluss der Oder, der vom Isergebirge durch den Osten der Ober- und Niederlausitz nach Norden fließt. Sie ist der längste der Neiße-Flüsse und bildet als Ergebnis des Zweiten Weltkrieges einen Teil der deutsch-polnischen Grenze. Aufgrund ihres Bezuges zu Deutschland wird sie deshalb häufig nur als Neiße bezeichnet. Der Fluss ist auf 14,2 Kilometer als Landeswasserstraße ausgewiesen.[4]
