Woiwodschaft Lebus

Lubusz Voivodeship, or Lubuskie Province, is a voivodeship, although parts of the voivodeship belong to the historic regions of Silesia, Greater Poland and Lusatia. Until 1945, it mainly formed the Neumark within the Prussian Province of Brandenburg.The functions of regional capital are shared between two cities: Gorzów Wielkopolski and Zielona Góra. Gorzów serves as the seat of the centrally appointed voivode or governor, while Zielona Góra is the seat of the elected regional assembly (sejmik) and the executive elected by that assembly, headed by a marshal (marszałek).The region is mainly flat, with many lakes and woodlands. In the south, around Zielona Góra, grapes are cultivated.
