Kyritz
Germany
A little Brandenburg town with Slavic roots, Kyritz — sometimes called Kyritz an der Knatter — developed from 12th-century resettlement by colonists from the Rhine, Holland, and Flanders, later joined the Hanseatic League, and became a Prussian garrison town in the 18th century. Situated in the northwest of Brandenburg, it sits close to water and within reach of the wider Prignitz countryside.
