The photo left shows a scene soon to disappear : an ex-Freiburg tram recently brought in to maintain the shuttle service between Anton-Saefkow-Alle and Plaue, running on single track through this outlying suburb. The service continued until 2003 although it had originally been planned to close it earlier

Despite its small size, Brandenburg's tram system now presents a thoroughly modern image, with considerable amounts of money having been spent on it since the reunification of Germany. In common with most other "eastern" town and cities, the fabric of the city has also been improved considerably, be it roads, open spaces, older buildings or newer suburbs, such as Hohenstucken (photo left). The small size of the town and its declining population since 1991 has left the authorities in a constant struggle to justify the continued existence of the tramway - the Quenzbrucke line has been mooted for closure as an economy measure.
