Küstriner Vorland is a municipality in the district Märkisch-Oderland, in Brandenburg, Germany at the border with Poland.
History
It was established on January 1, 1998 by the merger of Küstrin-Kietz with the villages of Gorgast and Manschnow. Küstriner Vorland is part of the Amt ("municipal federation") Golzow.
The settlement of Küstrin-Kietz formed the western part of Küstrin (Polish Kostrzyn nad Odrą today) until it was split off by the implementation of the Oder-Neisse line in 1945. The town's quarters west of the Oder River then belonged to East Germany and were renamed Kietz in 1954. In a 1991 vote the inhabitants chose to readopt the historic denotation.
The incorporated village of Gorgast, once a commandry of the Order of Saint John, features a historic fort finished in 1889 in addition to the Küstrin fortification system and a park laid out according to plans by Peter Joseph Lenné.
