Brandenburg

Brandenburg is a historical region in northeastern Germany, historically consisting of the core of the modern state of Brandenburg and surrounding areas. It was once a margraviate—an administrative border territory—within the Holy Roman Empire, and later became a key part of the Kingdom of Prussia. Today, Brandenburg is a German federal state, known for its rich history, forests, lakes, and proximity to Berlin. It plays an important role in Germany’s political and cultural landscape, balancing urban development with conservation of natural and historic sites.
