Burg, District capital in Jerichower Land, Germany
Located on the Elbe-Havel Canal in northeastern Germany, Burg extends across 164 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 54 meters.
The name Burg originates from the Slavic word 'bor' meaning coniferous forest, contrary to the German interpretation suggesting a connection to castles.
The municipality includes six formerly independent communities: Detershagen, Ihleburg, Niegripp, Parchau, Schartau, and Reesen, each maintaining local traditions.
The HELIOS Klinik Jerichower Land provides medical services to residents, operating both inpatient and outpatient facilities according to German healthcare regulations.
During its industrial period, Burg housed Europe's largest shoe manufacturing facility and introduced Germany's first crispbread production in 1931.
