Cottbus, College town in Brandenburg, Germany.

The second-largest city in Brandenburg features bilingual street signs in German and Lower Sorbian languages throughout its urban districts and neighborhoods.

German settlers established their presence in the 13th century, developing the city into a significant trading point along the medieval Salt Road network.

The Brandenburg University of Technology maintains research centers focusing on energy technology, contributing to academic and scientific advancement in the region.

The central railway station connects travelers to Berlin, Dresden, and Frankfurt through regular train services operating from early morning until late evening.

The city transformation includes the creation of Cottbuser Ostsee, which will become Brandenburg's largest artificial lake through the flooding of former mining areas.
