- Map: Gothic brick buildings / distribution in Mecklenburg (for the Mecklenburg part of the list )

In most areas of Mecklenburg, 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 intricately structured with brick, so that there are numerous field stone buildings, in particular field stone churches, which are equally part of the brick Gothic.

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, each linked from the side with the interactive map.
