Brandenburg an der Havel: Innenraum der St. Katharinenkirche - Interior of St. Catherine's Church
Sankt Katharinen ist ein herausragendes Meisterwerk norddeutscher Backsteinbaukunst. Anstelle einer 1395 abgerissenen Feldsteinkirche entstand bis 1401 die Katharinenkirche als die größte Kirche der Stadt.
Beachtlich ihre Ausmaße; die Höhe des Dachfirstes beträgt 38 m und die des Turmes 72,5 m. An den Außenwänden dominieren ein seltener Reichtum an durchbrochenen Maßwerkrosetten und figürlicher Schmuck. Besonders beeindruckend die sogenannte Schöppenkapelle an der Südseite mit ihren reichhaltigen Verzierungen.

Brandenburg an der Havel is a town in Brandenburg, Germany, which served as the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg until replaced by Berlin in 1417.
With a population of 71,886 (as of 2017), it is located on the banks of the River Havel. The town of Brandenburg provided the name for the medieval Bishopric of Brandenburg, the Margraviate of Brandenburg, and the current state of Brandenburg. In the late 19th century Brandenburg an der Havel became a very important industrial center in the German Empire. Steel industries settled there, and several world-famous bicycle brands were manufactured in the city. A world-famous toy industry was also established. After German reunification the city's population declined from around 100,000 in 1989 to roughly 75,000 in 2005 through emigration. The migration was mainly by young people. (en.Wikipedia)
