Most commonly, "Glatzer" is an adjective describing something or someone from the Glatz (Kłodzko) region in Lower Silesia, Poland. This region historically had a significant German-speaking population, and the term reflects this heritage.

Historically, the city of Glatz, now known as Kłodzko, was an important center in Silesia. The Glatz region itself is known for its landscape, including the Sudetes mountain range, and its historical castles and towns. People who identify with or come from this area might use the term "Glatzer" to describe their origin or ancestry.

In some contexts, "Glatzer" might also appear as a surname, indicating a family lineage connected to the Glatz region. While the term's usage is strongly tied to the German heritage of the area, contemporary residents and individuals of German descent from Glatz may still use it. The term's prevalence has evolved with the geopolitical changes in the region, particularly following World War II, which led to significant population shifts.
