Summary

The Margraviate of Brandenburg was a principality of the Holy Roman Empire from 1157 to 1806, initially underdeveloped but gaining electoral status. The Hohenzollern dynasty rose to power in 1415, moving the capital to Berlin in 1417. It evolved into Brandenburg-Prussia, a precursor to the Kingdom of Prussia and a key force in German unification.
