Brandenburg an der Havel, Medieval city center in Brandenburg, Germany
Located on both sides of the Havel River, Brandenburg an der Havel comprises three distinct districts: Cathedral Island, Old Town, and New Town.
The city emerged as a significant center in 929 when King Henry the Fowler conquered the Slavic fortress, establishing German control over the region.
The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul stands as the central religious monument, displaying northern German brick Gothic architecture with painted medieval vaults.
Regional trains connect Brandenburg an der Havel with Berlin in 60 minutes, while an extensive network of cycling paths links all major districts.
The city maintains three artificial waterways alongside natural rivers, creating a complex system of canals that support both industrial and recreational navigation.
