The Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Brandenburg is the Brandenburg state authority for the protection of the constitution.
In organizational terms, it is a department of the Ministry of the Interior and for Local Affairs of the State of Brandenburg and thus not an independent authority like in other federal states.
Its headquarters are in Potsdam.
Ernst Uhrlau, the later president of the Federal Intelligence Service, was involved in setting up the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Brandenburg in 1991.
