Prenzlau

Prenzlau is best known in Brandenburg for its position on Unteruckersee, a large lake in the Uckermark. The River Ucker leaves the lake here and runs north towards the Szczecin Lagoon, placing the town in a broad landscape of water and farmland rather than the dense Berlin region. Its red-brick St Mary’s Church is a landmark of North German Brick Gothic; badly damaged in the Second World War, it was subsequently reconstructed. Medieval Prenzlau also belonged to the Hanseatic League, recalling trading links that connected this inland town with the Baltic world.
