Kłopot, Lubusz Voivodeship

Kłopot [ˈkwɔpɔt] (literally: "trouble") is a village in western Poland, in the administrative district of Gmina Cybinka, within Słubice County, Lubusz Voivodeship[1] close to the border with Germany.

It lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) south-west of Cybinka, on the road to Rąpice, near the eastern banks of the Oder river opposite the German town of Eisenhüttenstadt.

It was first mentioned in a 1350 deed issued by the Wittelsbach margrave Louis I of Brandenburg, who granted the Neumark estates to the Order of Saint John at Sonnenburg (Słońsk).

[2] The building of a bridge was not finished until 1919; it was blown up by retiring Wehrmacht troops on 4 February 1945 after the Red Army had reached the river in the course of the Vistula-Oder Offensive.

After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, in 1945, along with the right-bank Lubusz Land (portion situated east of the Oder River) the village became again part of Poland.
