The densest accumulations can be found in the marshland on the coasts and estuaries, especially at the mouth of the Ems, where the accumulation continues in the Dutch province of Groningen . There are also a relatively large number of Gothic brick buildings in the wider area around the Central Weser . The brick buildings in the southern Wendland can be assumed to be a role model from the neighboring Altmark . The Askanians , who created the Margraviate of Brandenburg from there in the 12th and 13th centuries , are known as promoters of brick construction. Most of the buildings found and registered are churches. Most of the Gothic town houses made of brick are lost in Bremen and all in Stade. A large number is preserved in Lüneburg . It is difficult to record them precisely; besides those with clearly Gothic facades, there are many that were later redesigned but have Gothic brickwork at their core.

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 screenshot (with place names) is at the bottom of the page of the interactive map.
