====Other==== *The [[Margraviate of Brandenburg]], its ruler designated {{lang|de|Markgraf}} (margrave, literally "march-count"). It was further divided into regions also designated "Mark": **[[Altmark]] ("Old March"), the western region of the former margraviate, between [[Hamburg]] and [[Magdeburg]]. **[[Mittelmark]] ("Central March"), the area surrounding Berlin. Today, this region makes up for the bulk of the German [[States of Germany|federal state]] of [[Brandenburg]], and thus in modern usage is referred to as Mark Brandenburg. **[[Neumark (region)|Neumark]] ("New March") since the 1250s was Brandenburg's eastern extremity between [[Pomerania]] and [[Greater Poland]]. Since 1945, the area is a part of Poland. **[[Uckermark]], the Brandenburg–Pomeranian borderland. The name is still in use for the region as well as for a [[Uckermark (district)|Brandenburgian district]]. *[[Mark (county)|Mark]], a medieval territory that is recalled in the [[Märkischer Kreis]] district (formed in 1975) of today's [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]. The northern portion (north of the [[Lippe River]]) is still called '''Hohe Mark''' ("Higher Mark"). The former "Lower Mark" (between Ruhr and Lippe rivers) is the present [[Ruhr area]] and is no longer called "Mark". The title, in the form "Count of the Mark", survived the territory as a subsidiary title of the Dukes of [[Carl Eduard, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]] *[[Saxon Eastern March|Ostmark]] ("Eastern March") is a modern rendition of the term ''marchia orientalis'' used in Carolingian documents referring to the area of [[Lower Austria]] that was later a ''markgraftum'' ([[Margrave|margraviate]] or "county of the mark"). ''Ostmark'' has been variously used to denote Austria, the [[Saxon Eastern March]], or, as '' [[Ostmarkenverein]]'', the territories Prussia gained in the [[partitions of Poland]].
