Gothic brick buildings / distribution in Brandenburg
This is an interactive version of the distribution map for the list of North German and Rhenish brick Gothic buildings in Germany → section on Brandenburg and Berlin .
Most of today's state of Brandenburg was the core area of the Margraviate of Brandenburg during the Gothic period , which was built up by the Ascani from 1157 , after the Brandenburg line of this noble house had died out, first in the hands of the Luxembourgers and finally in 1415, still Gothic in the time Architecture that was entrusted to Hohenzollern .
The areas east of the Upper Havel , i.e. east of Spandau , became part of the Mark Brandenburg between 1230 and 1250. That was in the middle of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic styles. In the southeast, Brandenburg has a share in Lusatia , also since the rule of the Ascanians. However, some areas in the southwest of the state belonged to the Mark Meissen in the Middle Ages and only came to the Kingdom of Prussia after 1812 through the Congress of Vienna , which they incorporated into the newly created province of Brandenburg . The greater part of the territory ceded by Electoral Saxony at that time came to the province of Saxony and is now part of Saxony-Anhalt .
In the entire area of today's state, during the Gothic period masonry was not only made of brick , but also of field stone ; in northern Germany, which was shaped by the Ice Age , mostly small boulders made of granite . Field stone buildings were often simpler than brick buildings, but in some cases the stones were carefully cut into a square shape and high-quality masonry was built from them. In a considerable number of field stone buildings, portals and windows were made of brick or the gables were elaborately structured with brick, so that there are numerous field stone buildings, in particular field stone churches, which are equally part of the brick Gothic.
Distribution map of the brick Gothic buildings in the federal states of Brandenburg and Berlin . Wherever possible, the place names are linked to a Wikipedia article or part of an article about the (most important) Gothic brick building on site. Where there is no such article, they are linked to the category (picture collection) for the building in Wikimedia Commons. |
The differences in the use of materials between medieval centers and villages and between different regions are illustrated in this distribution map (but not in most of the other distribution maps in the Gothic Brick Buildings List ) by the different colors of the placemarks. Where there are Gothic brick buildings with different material distribution in one place, these are indicated by sectors of the placemark.

All detailed distribution maps - Atlas of Brick Gothic:
All places in Europe with Gothic brick buildings are registered here, including less than 15% with Mediterranean brick styles.
The interactive maps are not well suited for mobile devices because the place names are not displayed there.
And the software only works up to a little over 300 location points, which requires subdivisions.
That is why there are also maps without a dialog function, created from screenshots of the interactive maps.
Where the cuts of the interactive and the non-interactive map are the same, the non-interactive map is only linked with the interactive one.
