brandenburg.de | Welcome to Brandenburg! (496 words)
Brandenburg can be counted among the biggest federal states of Germany with a total area of 29.476 km 2 and with a maximum distance from north to south of 244 km and from west to east of 291 km.
Brandenburg stretches from the Uckermark in the north to the Elbe-Elster lowland in the south of the state.
Brandenburg's interests and goals are largely determined by its geographical position: being in the middle of Europe, on the eastern border of the European Union.
Brandenburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1267 words)
Brandenburg is bordered by Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the north, Poland in the east, Saxony in the south, Saxony-Anhalt in the west, and Lower Saxony in the northwest.
Brandenburg was one of the German states to convert in 1539 to Protestantism in the wake of the Protestant Reformation, and generally did quite well in the century following, as the dynasty expanded its lands to include the Duchy of Prussia in 1618 and, along the lower Rhine, the Duchy of Cleves (1614) and elsewhere.
Brandenburg was still the most important portion of the kingdom (and the state was often referred to informally as Brandenburg-Prussia) but for the purposes of accuracy, the continuation of this history can be found at Kingdom of Prussia.
