Świebodzin is a town in western Poland with 21,757 inhabitants (2004). It is the capital of Świebodzin County. Since the Local Government Reorganization Act of 1998, Świebodzin has been part of Lubusz Voivodeship. It was formerly part of the Zielona Góra Voivodeship (1975–1998).
Świebodzin was part of the German territory east of the Oder–Neisse line which was annexed by Poland in 1945. Following the annexation, its native German inhabitants were expelled and the city and the surrounding area repopulated by Poles.
Świebodzin is an important transportation hub, lying at the crossroads of the Polish national roads 2 and 3. The A2 motorway and S3 expressway cross near the town. Świebodzin is located northeast of Zielona Góra, one of the two voivodeship's capitals, northwest of Wrocław and west of Poznań; east of the German border and east of Berlin. The crowned statue of Christ in Świebodzin, completed in November 2010, is claimed to be the world's tallest statue of Jesus.
