      The great margrave "Albrecht the Bear" is considered the progenitor of the German nobility of the Ascanians. The Count of Ballenstedt, Aschersleben and Anhalt significantly expanded the inherited territory as the founder of the March of Brandenburg, temporarily Duke of Saxony. He probably received the nickname “the bear” in order to assert himself against his adversary Henry the Lion not only in war, but also in name.
