Görlitz (district)

Görlitz district (German: Landkreis Görlitz; Upper Sorbian: Wokrjes Zhorjelc [ˈwɔkʁʲɛs ˈzhɔʁʲɛlts]; Czech: Zemský okres Zhořelec) is a district (Kreis) in Saxony, and the easternmost in Germany.

It borders (from the west and clockwise) the district of Bautzen, the state of Brandenburg, Poland and the Czech Republic.

The Lusatian Neisse forms its eastern border, and the Spree river flows through the western part of the district.

The black eagle with the crescent over its chest refers to Silesia.
