Brandenburg castle and a lischke by Vistula Lagoon

Lischke (lisca, liske[1]) was a type of Old Prussian settlement. Lischkes were spontaneously grown settlements in geographically strategic places, so that often they have grown into towns. Often they grew under the protection of castles. The population was mainly innkeepers, craftsmen and merchants.[2][3]
