Wittenberge (German: [ˌvɪtənˈbɛɐ̯ɡə] ⓘ) is a town of eighteen thousand people on the middle Elbe in the district of Prignitz, Brandenburg, Germany.
Wittenberge is situated at the right (north-eastern) bank of the middle Elbe at its confluence with the Stepenitz and Karthane in the German district of Prignitz.
The Verbandsgemeinde Seehausen (Altmark) in the district of Stendal, Saxony-Anhalt, lies on the opposite side of the Elbe.
[4] Between the wars much architecture characteristic of the period was built in the form of workers' housing for the rapidly increased population.
The railway station was built in a classicist style in 1846 and rebuilt after considerable bomb damage in World War II.
[9] In Bahnstraße, Wittenberge's main street, several residential buildings representing Stalinist architecture on a provincial level can be seen close to the Cultural Centre.
