The Margraviate of Brandenburg is considered to have been founded in 1157, when Albrecht I of Brandenburg, known as Albrecht the Bear (1100-1170), secured his rule over the area after the reconquest of Brandenburg. Over the following centuries, the Mark developed into the important Electorate of Brandenburg and later formed the core state of Prussia. After the Second World War, the part of Brandenburg east of the Oder-Neisse line fell to Poland. When the GDR was founded in 1949, Brandenburg became part of the new state.

In the course of the reunification of the two German states in 1990, the current federal state of Brandenburg was created in north-east Germany with the capital Potsdam. Brandenburg almost completely surrounds the German capital Berlin and together they form the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region.
