Brandenburg, a der Havel, is a charming town whose appeals may not be evident but worth a second look. While some highlights still await renovation, others have already been reappointed to their former splendor once the margrave of Brandenburg, a Prince Elector, history, culture, and nature are closely entwined the town, which historically has three independent city centers. Cathedral island, the town's original heart, is also home to its oldest edifice: the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. Although construction began in the Romanesque style in 1165, it was completed as a Gothic cathedral. While the exterior is rather inornate, the cathedral surprises the visitor with its sumptuous interior. Separated by the River Havel, the Old Town and New Town each have two magnificent gate towers. Along with the city walls' ruins, they stand as a monument to the town's old Gothic fortification. Built-in 1401, St. Catherine's church in the New Town is an impressive example of northern German Gothic brick architecture. St. Gotthard's church in the Old Town was built of the same material just a few years later. The Old Town townhall is a late Gothic brick building with stepped gables and an ornate portal. A stone statue of Knight Roland stands in front of the town hall. Over 5 meters in height, the statue was erected at the end of the 15th century as the town's landmark. Quiet corners and imposing architecture dating from the late Middle Ages can still be found everywhere in Brandenburg. However, the town is transforming: the University of Applied Sciences, the Higher Regional Court, many new businesses along with cultural and tourist attractions are contributing to a new joie de vivre in Brandenburg. In Brandenburg a der Havel, there is something for everyone interested in culture. The theatre offers varied and exciting plays, ballet, orchestra performances, and puppet theatre, with about 400 plays, concerts, and ballet performances offered per season. In addition to the large theatre and modern studio stage, the Cathedral, Pauli cloister, museum gardens, locomotive shed, and even the theatre park also serve as "stages" with a distinctive flair. Friends of the performing arts will also find plenty to do in Brandenburg. The Culture Lab (Kultur-Labor GmbH) brings together two alternative art homes with their long traditions: the lab with its bar and the Fontane club with its much-loved terrace café. Home-grown theatre productions, live music performances, exhibitions, and a repertoire cinema have also become regular events. Brandenburg is home to some exceptional museums, including the Frey House museum with its attractive collection of mechanical tin toys which hark back to the town's centuries-old tradition of toy production, the museum in the stone gate tower (Steintorturm), a landmark and reminder of the walls which guarded the city during the Middle Ages, as well as the Cathedral Museum with its valuable collection of documents and manuscripts dating from the Middle Ages, including books from the time of the Reformation. An industrial museum commemorating Brandenburg's role as a city of steel and roller mills is the latest addition to Brandenburg's museum collection. Its most important exhibit is a Siemens-Martin oven, the only one of its kind left in Europe. The music school, the Wredow drawing school, and the Sonnensegel gallery appeal to Brandenburg's younger citizens, and they have discovered many talented local artists. Culinary delights await you in the town and surrounding region with something to suit almost every different taste. In addition to the Brandenburg region's flavorsome cuisine, you can also enjoy Greek, Italian, and Asian cuisine, to name just a few! Brandenburg is characterized by the nature of the River Havel region called Havilland. Abundant forests, meadows, and countless lakes make sport and recreation easily accessible. While it is true that there is less to do in winter, there's nothing easier than skating a few figure-eights on one of the many lakes which are frozen over or tobogganing down Marienberg. The warmer it gets, the more difficult decisions get: sailing, motorboating, rowing, fishing, swimming...take your pick! The beautiful lakes in and around Brandenburg not only make water sports lovers' hearts beat faster, but their attractive beaches are an invitation to relax. Hikers and bicyclists can explore the many signposted paths, equestrian and airborne athletes will find ideal conditions here, and even golfers will be pleased with the facilities available closeby.

The Brandenburg Medical School (MHB) sees its mission and its unique function in giving a specific answer to society's changing demands on the health care system in general and the training of physicians, psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, and other health professionals in particular. The Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane (MHB) is a state-recognized university, a non-profit institution under municipal sponsorship. It stands for innovative teaching concepts and the integration of research, student education, and patient care. With three university hospitals – Ruppiner Kliniken, Stadtisches Klinikum Brandenburg, and Immanuel Klinikum Bernau / Herzzentrum Brandenburg – and currently more than 20 cooperating clinics and 35 teaching practices, we pool science-based expertise and practice-oriented know-how to educate a new generation of physicians and psychologists. Our objective and claim are to establish a modern format of education that is close to practice, liberal and holistic, and meets professional life requirements. We see physicians and psychologists' qualification and training with subject-specific expertise, competence, and social commitment as an active contribution to solving current problems and providing the best possible patient care for the region and the country. The Brandenburg Medical School regards itself as a university primarily oriented towards public welfare, with a unique constellation of associates from municipalities, hospitals, and social service organizations. Against the background of our founding mission and objectives, we intend to be a university that takes on future challenges with confidence and courage, breaks new ground in teaching and research, and contributes to pressing social issues. And we want our students to enjoy enough space to unfold their talents and develop their personalities. A university that promotes and challenges the individual potential of each member. A university that consistently proves its learning and relational capacities and creative powers. A university where it is fun to study, teach, research, and work. And finally: a university with an institutional non-profit set-up and a unique shareholder structure that includes municipalities, hospitals, and social welfare organizations, which strives to contribute to patient care, future health, and social change. Primary research interest is the medicine of aging, including all developments, mechanisms, and changes in the aging process and results in diseases or impairments of body and mind that require medical diagnostics, treatment, or preventive measures. The academic self-image of the Brandenburg Medical School rests on findings from basic research on the one hand, and the other on a holistic, humanist, personal and integrated concept of medicine and psychology with head, heart, and hand. The focus is on the patient in their unique physical, social, and mental situation, not only on the medical case or type of intervention. Until recently, Brandenburg was the only German federal state without a medical school of its own. The Brandenburg Medical School was founded to close this gap. Forty-eight entrants start their medical studies every year, 42 of them in the Bachelor's program. From 2016, we will have 21 beginners in the Master's program of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy (M.Sc.). Additional degree programs in medical and psychological subjects such as psychotherapy, creative therapy, and other health professions are being planned. Therefore, the development of the Brandenburg Medical School towards a university of medicine and health sciences constitutes a promising perspective for the region and beyond. Studying medicine and psychology. Without numerus clausus. But with head, heart, and hand. "Personality counts!" This is the motto for how we select our students. The school-leaving certificate's grade average decides whether an applicant can start studies of medicine or psychology, but personal criteria like motivation, work experience, and character. Numerous studies indicate no apparent correlation between excellent school grades and the empathic competencies required by a physician or psychologist. In other words: top school grades do not automatically reflect aptitude for these professions. This is why the focus in our selection procedures is on your strengths and competencies. The Brandenburg Medical School aims to establish a practice-oriented and science-based educational concept with head, heart, and hand, which corresponds to patients' needs and meets the challenges of future developments in medicine and psychology. We strive to convey expertise and human competencies to prepare tomorrow's physicians and psychologists for their future professional practice and ensure excellent patient care in all health-related areas. In Brandenburg and beyond. View full university
