Luckenwalde is the Kreisstadt of the Landkreis Teltow-Flaeming in Brandenburg, with about 21,620 inhabitants. The town's architectural highlight is the Hutfabrik Friedrich Steinberg, Herrmann & Co., a hat factory designed by Erich Mendelsohn in 1921 in an expressionist style. The building, with its angular roof meant to evoke a hat, is considered one of Mendelsohn's early masterworks. Luckenwalde was a centre of hat and cap production in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Berlin is about 50 kilometres north. Jueterbog lies to the south. The Nuthe river flows through town. The surrounding Flaeming plateau is gently rolling farmland with sandy soils and pine forest, typical of the Brandenburg landscape south of Berlin.
