City walls of Brandenburg an der Havel, Medieval fortification system in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany
The defensive walls encompass both the Altstadt and Neustadt districts, featuring brick construction with a sophisticated double moat system and multiple gates.
Construction of the fortifications began in the late 12th century as a response to regional conflicts, with significant expansions occurring during the 14th century.
The preserved sections of walls, reaching heights of four meters, demonstrate medieval German military architecture and urban planning techniques.
Visitors can explore the remaining wall segments along Wallstraße, where informational plaques detail the structure's historical development and significance.
The fortification system incorporated natural waterways into its design, completely enclosing Altstadt Brandenburg with an integrated double moat network.
