Potsdam-Mittelmark District

The district spans 2,575 square kilometers across western Brandenburg, encompassing the southern banks of Havel River and northern sections of Fläming hill chain.

The district emerged through a 1993 administrative reform that combined three former districts: Belzig, Brandenburg-Land, and Potsdam-Land into a single jurisdiction.

The district coat of arms displays a red eagle, three oak leaves, bishopric keys, and black-golden bars representing Brandenburg, forests, and historical Saxon territory.

The district capital Bad Belzig manages administrative tasks for 38 municipalities, including larger towns like Teltow, Beelitz, and Werder an der Havel.

Three nature parks within the district borders - High Fläming, Nuthe-Nieplitz, and Westhavelland - create a network of protected natural spaces.
