desc = "During the weak rule of the Wittelsbachs and Luxemburgs, several cities, especially the twin cities of Berlin and Cölln, in Brandenburg began to grow and prosper, obtained a huge deal of autonomy and joined the Hanseatic League. After the arrival of the Hohenzollern, the towns were keen on having their privilegues confirmed or even extended. They refused any interference in their internal politics, assumed judicative powers within their city walls and even refused the Elector entrance. Obviously, this autononomy was a great hindrance to the consolidation of electoral authority. Therefore Friedrich II gladly took the opportunity when the community of Berlin called for his aid in a conflict with the town council of Berlin-Cölln. Friedrich marched to the city with 6000 men, quickly entered the city and forced the council into submission. The Elector obtained the right to confirm nominations to the council, renounced the town's jurisdictive privilegues, forced it to cancel all agreements with other cities, including the Hanseatic League, and began the construction of a strong fortress that would allow him to control the city. In the following years, similar measures were applied in most other cities."

Still the electoral residence and administrative center remained Tangermünde, situated west of the Elbe. Elector Friedrich II was the first ruler to realise the town's potential and had chosen it as his capital already upon ascending the throne. After suppressing its desire for autonomy and firmly establishing his authority, the Elector in 1451 ordered to move most administrative institutions and his residence to Berlin-Cölln. Berlin-Cölln, after the 1640 fully merged and called Berlin, thereafter was the capital of Brandenburg, the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire and today again is the capital and biggest city of Germany."
