Eisenhüttenstadt (German pronunciation: [aɪzn̩ˈhʏtn̩ʃtat] ⓘ; lit. 'ironworks city') is a town in the Oder-Spree district of Brandenburg, Germany. It is located at the confluence of the Oder–Spree Canal and the River Oder on the border with Poland. Eisenhüttenstadt was founded as a planned city by East Germany in 1950, as a socialist model city and a state-owned steel mill complex. It was known as Stalinstadt (Lower Sorbian: Stalinměsto) between 1953 and 1961, in honor of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, and received its current name during the de-Stalinization campaign.
