Brandenburg is one of Germany's sixteen Bundesländer
(federal states). It lies in the eastern part of Germany. The
capital is Potsdam. Brandenburg surrounds but does not include the
German capital Berlin.
The former Prussian, Brandenburg, is bordered by Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
in the north, the Oder River and Poland in the east, the Free State
of Saxony in the south, Saxony-Anhalt in the west, and Lower Saxony
in the northwest.
Brandenburg is divided into fourteen (rural) counties (Landkreise),
and four urban districts (kreisfreie Städte).
