The distinction between Mecklenburg and Vorpommern (Hither Pomerania) follows the historical borders, the borders of presentday districts do not. Therefore, the list of Mecklenburg shows some buildings in Vorpommern-Rügen district, and the list of Hither Pomerania without Rügen shows some buildings in Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district.

Rügen island

Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg

Lower Saxony and Bremen

North Rhine-Westphalia

In North Rhine-Westphalia, Brick Gothic is concentrated west of the Rhine north of Bonn and in western Münsterland. The regional style, including the colour of the bricks (very dark or very pale, but seldom very red), is very similar to neighbouring regions of the Netherlands – the present day border, three miles east of the Meuse, is as young as from 1815.

See the location map, placed between the lists of Münster region and of northern Rhine region.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Gothic brick buildings in Germany” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1906, 1815—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where List, Gothic and brick can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q51893553. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1906 and 1815.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
