The Wikipedia Monument in Słubice, Poland is a small public monument dedicated to Wikipedia and the volunteers who build the project. It was installed in 2014 in the western Polish border town of Słubice.

The monument is an outdoor sculpture located in the town’s public space and is often photographed by visitors crossing between Słubice and neighboring Frankfurt (Oder). It serves as a local landmark celebrating collaborative online knowledge rather than as a major tourist attraction.

The monument was commissioned and unveiled in 2014 as a civic tribute to the contributors to the Wikipedia project and to highlight Słubice’s cultural connections across the Oder border.

It stands in Słubice on Poland’s western frontier, adjacent to the Oder river and opposite the German town of Frankfurt (Oder).

• Date of unveiling: Unveiled in 2014 in the town of Słubice as a public tribute to volunteers who contribute to free online knowledge.
• Border setting: Located close to the Oder river and the German town of Frankfurt (Oder), the monument marks Słubice’s link to cross-border cultural initiatives.

The Wikipedia Monument (Pomnik Wikipedii) is in the town of Słubice on the Polish side of the Oder river opposite Frankfurt (Oder). Słubice is served by regional trains (Słubice station) and by road; from Słubice railway station the monument and the Collegium Polonicum area are a short walk into the town centre. It is also a brief cross-border walk or drive from Frankfurt (Oder) across the Oder bridge.

• The Wikipedia Monument stands outdoors in Słubice next to the Collegium Polonicum and is best visited in daylight as part of a short walk along the Oder riverfront and across the pedestrian bridge into Frankfurt (Oder).
• It's an unobtrusive site that's quickest to see early in the day to avoid any local events; combine the stop with a visit to the nearby university buildings and the river promenade for context.
• Many visitors miss the cross‑border setting - take a short walk across the bridge to see how the monument sits on the Polish side facing Germany, which makes for an interesting contrast and photo opportunity.
