HAVELBERG

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 79 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HAVELBERG , a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Brandenburg, on the Havel and the railway Glowen-Havelberg. Pop. (1905), J988. The town is built partly on an
island
  in the Havel, and partly on hills on the right bank of the river, on one of which stands the fine Romanesque
cathedral
  dating from the 12th century. The two parts, which are connected by a
bridge
 , were incorporated as one town in 1875. The inhabitants are chiefly engaged in tobacco manufacturing,
sugar
 -refining and boat-building, and in the timber
trade
 .
Otto I. founded a bishopric at Havelberg in 946; the
bishop
 , however, who was a prince of the Empire, generally resided at Plattenburg, or Wittstock, a few miles to the north. In 1548 the bishopric was seized by the elector of Brandenburg, who finally took possession of it fifty years later, and the
cathedral
  passed to the
Protestant
 
Church
 , retaining its endowments till the edict of 181o, by which all former ecclesiastical possessions were assumed by the crown. The final secularization was delayed till 1819. Havelberg was formerly a strong fortress, but in the Thirty Years' War it was taken from the Danish by the imperial troops in 1627. Recaptured by the Swedes in 1631, and again in 1635 and 1636, it was in 1637 retaken by the
Saxons
 . It suffered severely from a conflagration in 1870.
