Brandenburg

Brandenburg extends across 29,479 square kilometers of land containing 3,000 lakes, extensive forests, and a network of rivers surrounding Berlin from all sides.

The territory transformed from the Northern March in 900 AD into the Margraviate of Brandenburg, later becoming a core region of Prussia until German reunification in 1990.

The southeastern region maintains the traditions of the Sorbian minority through officially recognized dual-language usage of German and Lower Sorbian in administrative matters.

The state capital Potsdam connects to Berlin through regional trains departing every 30 minutes, while 113 cities spread across 14 rural and 4 urban districts.

Brandenburg houses the Spreewald biosphere reserve, where a system of 1,500 kilometers of waterways enables farmers to transport produce using traditional wooden boats.
