Perleberg, Administrative center in Brandenburg, Germany

The town of Perleberg extends across 137 square kilometers and features the St James Church rising above the historic center along the Stepenitz river.

Perleberg received city rights in 1239 and reached its economic peak during the 14th century as a member of the Hanseatic League trading network.

The St James Church, first documented in 1294, stands as the central religious building in Perleberg with notable architectural modifications from the 1850s.

The town maintains regular transport connections to Berlin and Hamburg, offering visitors access to regional trains and bus services throughout Brandenburg.

In 1809, British diplomat Benjamin Bathurst mysteriously disappeared in Perleberg, and his case remains unsolved despite extensive investigations.
