Brandenburg heads

The image portal “Brandenburger Köpfe” of the State Chancellery of the State of Brandenburg presents personalities whose lives began, ended in Brandenburg or who crossed the history of the Brandenburg region. The portal, which was activated by Prime Minister Matthias Platzeck on December 28, 2012, includes around 500 historical and contemporary personalities from the fields of architecture, film, innovation, literature, art, media, music, politics, religion, sport, business and science. The portal does not claim to be complete.

Suggestions come from the population, from associations and institutions. But media reports also provide suggestions for research. The website provides up-to-date information on the activities of the “Brandenburg heads”, their social commitment, sporting and artistic successes and campaigns around these personalities, and reports are also published in a quarterly newsletter.
