| ARTICLES RELATED TO Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg | | | |  Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg: Encyclopedia II - History of Berlin - The Germans returnIn the beginning of the 12th century the Saxon German kings and emperors conquered the Slavic-inhabited lands of present-day Brandenburg. The Slavic inhabitants of the area were either driven out, or became subject to German feudal lords. Many Slavic inhabitants survived the conquests and live there still today - Sorbs, Lusatians. The church brought bishoprics, which with their walled towns, afforded protection for the townspeople from attack. With the monks and bishops, the history of the town of Brandenbur ...

| | | | | Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg: Encyclopedia II - History of Berlin - Berlin and Cölln Throughout these events, the area of today's Berlin contained small fishing and farming villages.
Around 1200, two towns were founded on the banks of the river Spree: Cölln and Berlin. Berlin used the name of the existing Slavic village (br'l which means "swamp"). Cölln may have been a new foundation, since its name (like Köln) represents Latin colonia = "colony".
Cölln is first mentioned in documents on 28 October 1237, Berlin in 1244.
The first mention of city rights for Berlin is in 1251 and for Cölln in 1261, s ...

| | | | | Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg: Encyclopedia II - History of Berlin - German Empire Prussia was the dominant factor in the unification of Germany. When the German Empire was established in 1871, Wilhelm I became emperor, Bismarck chancellor, and Berlin the capital.
In the meantime, Berlin had become an industrial city with 800,000 inhabitants. Improvements to the infrastructure were needed; in 1896 the construction of the subway (U-Bahn) and city train (S-Bahn) began. The neighborhoods around the city center (including Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain and Wedding) were filled with tenement blocks.
The economic boom caused by the new function of Berlin was fo ...

| | | | | Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg: Encyclopedia II - History of Berlin - Kingdom of Prussia In 1701 Friedrich III (1688-1701) crowned himself as Friedrich I (1701-1713), King in Prussia. (Not of Prussia, because he didn't possess all of Prussia.) He was mostly interested in decorum: he ordered the building of the castle Charlottenburg in the west of the city. He made Berlin the capital of the new kingdom of Prussia.
His son, Friedrich Wilhelm I (1713-1740), in contrast, was a sparing man, who made Prussia an important military power.
In 1709 Berlin count ...

| | | | | Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg: Encyclopedia II - History of Berlin - Weimar Republic The overall impression one gets when visiting Berlin today is one of great discontinuity, visibly reflecting the many ruptures of Germany's difficult history in the 20th century. Although it was the residence of the Prussian kings, Berlin's population did not greatly expand until the 19th century, mainly after becoming the capital of the German Empire in 1871. It remained Germany's capital during the Weimar Republic and under the Nazis' Third Reich. 1920s Berlin was a very exciting and interesting city ...
