The region for your investment

North-east of Brandenburg, between the capital city of Berlin and the Polish metropolis of Stettin, you will find one of the largest and most beautiful areas in Germany - the Uckermark region. As long ago as the Middle Ages, significant trans-regional trade routes changed the settlement patterns in the region. Today, the towns and municipalities of the Uckermark offer you the best possible transport connections to many industrial areas due to their geostrategic location.
Motorways 11 (E28 Berlin-Stettin-Minsk) and 20 (E22, AK Uckermark- Lübeck) intersect the region and create links to the trans European transport routes between Northern and Southern Europe (scandria, the Scandinavian-Adriatic developmental area) as well as the axes between Western and Eastern Europe.
The European inland waterway network or the Baltic Sea ports of Stettin and Swinemünde (Poland) can be reached via modern inland ports in Schwedt/Oder. On top of this, the Uckermark district offers unparalleled scenic natural environments and numerous cultural and leisure facilities. A region where you can live, make a home, work and enjoy a good life.
