Brandenburg an der Havel
Brandenburg an der Havel sits on the River Havel west of Berlin, its walkable centre dense with historic churches and a solid food-and-drink scene. The town gave its name to the medieval Bishopric of Brandenburg, the Margraviate, and the modern German state — a role that earned it the informal title "Cradle of the Mark." That history stretches back to a Slavic fortress seized by King Heinrich I in 929, with the bishopric founded by Otto I in 948. Vineyards and scenic viewpoints lie in the surrounding area.
