Oranienburg, District capital in Brandenburg, Germany.
The municipality extends across 163 square kilometers along the Havel River, featuring residential areas and green spaces north of Berlin.
Originally named Bötzow in 1216, the town received its current name in 1646 when Louise Henriette of Orange-Nassau ordered a castle construction.
The Sachsenhausen Memorial Site presents educational exhibitions about the former concentration camp's history through artifacts and documentation centers.
The Berlin Northern Railway connects Oranienburg to Berlin in 30 minutes, with regular services running throughout the day from the central station.
Specialized bomb disposal teams conduct systematic searches across Oranienburg due to the high concentration of unexploded World War II ordnance.
