Urad [ˈurat] (German: Aurith) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Cybinka, within Słubice County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland, close to the border with Germany.[1]

Oder river

It lies on the Oder river, approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) north-west of Cybinka, 13 km (8 mi) south-east of Słubice, 64 km (40 mi) south-west of Gorzów Wielkopolski, and 66 km (41 mi) north-west of Zielona Góra. The village has a population of 430.

Since the implementation of the Oder–Neisse line by the 1945 Potsdam Agreement, the Oder forms the Polish-German border (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II) and the village right of the river fell to the Republic of Poland. A few remaining houses left of the Oder were incorporated into the German municipality of Ziltendorf.
