		Brandenburg is bordered by Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the north, Poland in the east, Saxony in the south, Saxony-Anhalt in the west and Lower Saxony in the northwest.
		Brandenburg was one of the German states to switch 1539 to Protestantism in the wake of the Reformation, and generally did quite well in the century following, as the dynasty expanded its lands to include the Duchy of Prussia in 1618 and along the lower Rhine Duchy of Cleves (1614) and elsewhere.
		Brandenburg was still the most important portion of the kingdom (and the state was often referred to informally as Brandenburg-Prussia) but for the purposes of accuracy, the continuation of this history can be found at Prussia.

	Expatica's German news in English: Berlin gets green light to build giant airport
		BERLIN - Government officials in Germany announced Friday that they had approved plans to build a giant new airport on the outskirts of the capital Berlin, paving the way for the construction of one of the world's largest new air transport facilities.
		The new BBI (Berlin Brandenburg International) airport is to be constructed on the site of the existing Schoenefeld airport, a somewhat shabby communist-era facility currently mostly used by discount airlines offering holiday packages to Eastern European destinations.
		Templehof, despite being a favourite of Berliners due to its central location, striking architecture and historical significance as the centre of the Soviet-era Berlin airlift, is slated for closure as its runways are too short to handle the mid-sized aircraft that are the workhorses of the modern discount airline.
