      It is hardly believed, but also the German Democratic Republic had its center .. It is located in the middle of a forest in Brandenburg south of the city of the same name Brandenburg an der Havel. It is also accessible by car, but more beautiful here is a hike through the forest, which is rewarded with a covered picnic area. At the same time you can sign up in a guestbook. A billboard explains that the center was solemnly announced in 1974 as part of a television program. But only three years later, the point was a bit offset, because the area was closed by a military training area. The appearance of today's idyllic place dates from the time after the reunification. The center was actually built in its present state, after the land no longer existed.
