For over 1000 years, the Red Eagle has been the heraldic animal of the Brandenburg Margraviate.

An iron eagle has been used as a weathervane on top of Brandenburg's most majestic tower, the Steintorturm (Stone Gate Tower) ever since it was built in 1380.

After over 600 years, the original weathervane was replaced by a new one during a restoration of the tower in 2015. The original is now on display inside the tower (picture right).
