Müncheberg is a small town in Märkisch-Oderland, in eastern Germany approximately halfway between Berlin and the border with Poland, within the historic region of Lubusz Land.

It included eight municipalities that were incorporated on March 31, 2002 to form the town of Müncheberg: (population in parentheses) The settlement was founded between 1225 and 1232 by Cistercian monks who had been given the land by the Piast Duke of Lower Silesia and soon-to-be monarch of Poland, Henry I the Bearded.

This name was not kept for long and in February 1233 the settlement was first mentioned as Munichberc (Middle High German for "Monk's Hill") in a charter by Pope Gregory IX.

The railway between Berlin and the eastern Germany started operating on October 1, 1867 giving Müncheberg a fast connection to the capital.

During World War II, a subcamp of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp was located in the present-day district of Trebnitz.

[6] In early 1945, a death march of prisoners of various nationalities from the dissolved camp in Żabikowo to Sachsenhausen passed through the town.

Facilities include: The Gymnasium Müncheberg (grades 7-13; with Abitur as school-leaving exam, qualifying for university) which was established on the foundation walls of a former military barracks in 1991—as a sign of the dawning of a new age—was closed in July 2007 in the aftermath of the 1990s decline in the birth rate.

Müncheberg is home to the ZALF - Leibniz-Zentrum für Agrarlandschaftsforschung (Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research).
