Bernau bei Berlin, Medieval town center in Brandenburg, Germany

The town features an 8-meter-high defensive wall system surrounding the central district, with the Steintor gate housing a local historical museum point.

Founded in the 13th century, Bernau developed into a center of cloth production and beer brewing, earning recognition throughout the Brandenburg region.

The Hussite Festival takes place each June in Stadtpark, where participants recreate medieval markets and tournaments while wearing period costumes.

Located 20 kilometers from Berlin, the town connects to the capital via the S2 railway line and provides various accommodation options for visitors.

The ADGB Trade Union School, constructed between 1928 and 1930, represents the Bauhaus architectural movement and holds UNESCO World Heritage status.
