Slipping through the heart of Brandenburg an der Havel, the Plane River whispers stories of a city’s rich past. The Plane isn’t just a waterway. It’s a ribbon weaving together centuries of history, connecting Brandenburg to its industrial and aviation heritage. The Hansa-Brandenburg Flugzeugwerke, established in 1914, built its legacy along the Havel. This company, a major player during World War I, produced seaplanes near Briest, a district linked to Brandenburg by the flowing waters of the Plane. The airfield at Brandenburg-Briest, closely tied to the Plane’s course, further cements this connection. Its story begins in 1914, mirroring the birth of Hansa-Brandenburg. Both the river and the airfield witnessed the rise and fall of German aviation, from the early days of flight to the wartime production of Arado aircraft, and later, the post-war presence of the GSSD and the NVA. Even today, as the airfield has transitioned to civilian use and even a solar park, the Plane continues to flow, a constant reminder of the past. It reflects the changing landscape, much like the river itself mirrors the sky above. The Plane, with its quiet strength, has borne witness to it all, connecting the Brandenburg of today with its fascinating history of innovation and resilience.
