It completely surrounds the capital, Berlin (which is itself a separate federal state).
Capital: Potsdam (largest city).
Other major cities: Cottbus, Brandenburg an der Havel, Frankfurt (Oder).
Features: Abundant nature: more than 3,000 lakes, vast forests (one-third of the area), rivers, national parks, and the famous Spreewald (biosphere reserve with canoeing through the forests).
Historic heart of Prussia (Mark Brandenburg → Hohenzollern → Prussia).
After German reunification in 1990, it became an independent federal state again.
Economy: Agriculture (known for asparagus!), forestry, tourism, proximity to Berlin (commuters), which attracts new technology and logistics.
Bordering Poland (east) and the states of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Lower Saxony.
In short: a peaceful, green, water-rich state around Berlin with plenty of space, nature, and history – ideal for those seeking peace and quiet and outdoor sports.
