	Brandenburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 convert in 1539 to Protestantism in the wake of the Protestant 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, the 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 Kingdom of Prussia.

	AICGS: ANALYSES : Constitutional Politics in Germany - by Donald P. Kommers - March 28, 2002
		The most recent example of this interface is the unseemly clash over Brandenburg's divided vote on a controversial immigration bill in the Federal Council or Bundesrat, the legislative body that represents the German states at the national level.
		Brandenburg's four votes were needed to win 35 -- a bare majority -- of the Bundesrat's 69 votes.
		On the other hand, these pressure tactics, such as they were, risked the collapse of Brandenburg's coalition government, raising the possibility of a Social Democratic coalition with the Party of Democratic Socialism, the successor to the old East German Communist party, a result that would hand Stoiber a devastating campaign weapon.

		It was clear that the success of the bill depended on the vote from the last delegation, from the German state of Brandenburg.
		But Brandenburg's government was at that time a "big coaltion" of both the SPD and the CDU, so their delegation consisted of a member from each party.
		Governor Manfred Stolpe (SPD) voted "yes," while State Interior Minister Jörg Schönbohm (CDU) voted "no." Wowereit asked Stolpe to speak for the state of Brandenburg; as governor of the state, he was technically the higher-ranking official within the state government, although the Constitution does not rank members of the delegation.

		On June 1st, 1995, the Brandenburg Constitutional Court decides that the State Government's decree declaring the Jänschwalde Brown Coal Plan to be binding, is unconstitutional and therefore null and void.
		The Court follows the arguments of the Brandenburg Oberbergamt and the LAUBAG, namely, that approval of the Outline Mining Plan neither required an environmental impact assessment nor did it represent an encroachment on the property rights of the Horno people. The plaintiffs apply to the Appeal Court (Oberverwaltungsgericht) for leave to appeal against the decision.
