Anniversary celebrations in Brandenburg: 650 years full of festivities!
The celebrations of 650 years since many places in Brandenburg were first mentioned in documents are just around the corner. Today, on July 9, 2025, the onslaught of anniversary celebrations is casting its shadow ahead. Similar to the explosion of fireworks, the entire country will prepare for festivities around July 12th and 19th. The Land Book of the Mark Brandenburg, published by Emperor Charles IV in 1375, marks the historical origin of these celebratory events. Many places in Brandenburg, including Teltow-Fläming and Dahme-Spreewald, celebrate this occasion eagerly [maz-online.de].
