Brandenburg at the Havel-River
Renaissance par excellence in the romantic water-city
The Brandenburg gates in Berlin and Potsdam show the 65 miles long way to the city, in which the Havel-River branches out into billabongs and canals. In late-medieval times Brandenburg at the Havel-River as capital of the margravate Brandenburg, as bishop´s see and as long-distance trading city was THE center beween Elbe-and Oder-River. In contrast to Barock-Potsdam here you can discover even an older period: quite a few well-preserved edifices from the Renaissance-period witness the wealth of the former Hanse town. Actually, Brandenburg at the Havel-River consists of three cities: dome isle, historic district and new town. Brandenburg at the Havel-River is one of only a few cities mit a double-emblem. More than 50 percent of the old city wall with their huge gatetowers still exist.
