At his death, the two sons were still immature. The feudal guardianship first took over Archbishop Albrecht of Magdeburg, from 1221 the mother, Countess Mathilde. Since their death in the year 1225, the brothers have led the county together
Monument of Albrecht II in the Berlin Victory Avenue
The aforementioned monument of Albrecht stood in the former Victory Avenue in the Tiergarten in Berlin, the 1895 by Kaiser Wilhelm II commissioned "Splendor Boulevard" with monuments from the history of Brandenburg and Prussia. Under the direction of Reinhold Begas, between 1895 and 1901 27 sculptor 32 still images of the Brandenburg and Prussian rulers of 2.75 m height were created. Each statue was flanked by two smaller busts with the portrayal of persons who had played an important role in the life of the respective ruler or for the history of Brandenburg/Prussia.
Beside Figure Eike von Repgow, writer of the Saxon Mirror
At the Monument Group 4 were the busts of Eike von Repgow, the author of the Saxon Mirror, and Hermann von Salza, the high master of the Teutonic Order. As Albrecht's participation in his founding meeting shows (see above), he had gained a close relationship with the German Knights, which was based on the same political objective with regard to the eastern territories. He had already met Hermann von Salza on the Palestine Crusade and deepened his relationship with life – the choice of a minor character is meant to express this relationship
According to Eike von Repgow, neither Albrecht II nor the Mark Brandenburg were in contact with Gustav Albrecht. The choice of the secondary figure is probably due to the fact that the Saxon mirror as the most important legal book of the German Middle Ages had great influence also on Brandenburg and northern Germany. However, Eike had a close connection to the House of Ascanians, for he was in the service of Heinrich I, Prince of Anhalt.
The sculptor of the monument Group was Johannes Böse. The revelation took place on March 22nd, 1898. The monument of Albrecht, Gustav Albrecht 1900, described as follows: "The Margrave, in the chain tank with a high-pitched hood, is conceived in a battle-ready position, as he protected with dragged heavy a castle, presumably the border-resistant Oderberg built in the year 1215. The head of the energetically looking prince adorns a narrow Kronreif; Around the armored shirt adorned with the Märkische Eagle is a broad ornamental belt, a long coat falls, held together by the left, picturesquely back down.

The Ascanians Albrecht II was the youngest son of Otto I and the Polish Duke's daughter Judith of Poland as well as the grandson of Albrecht the Bear, the founder of the Mark Brandenburg in the year 1157. He took over the Mark County after the death of his eldest brother Otto II.
Monument in the former Victory Avenue, Berlin 1898
Since 1184, Albrecht II was the count of Arneburg in the Altmark, which was claimed by Otto II and which belongs to Brandenburg. As such, he was temporarily imprisoned 1194 by Otto for unexplained reasons, then took part in the Third Crusade (1189-1192) and was present at the founding meeting of the Teutonic Order 1198 in Acre. In the throne disputes between Staufer and Welf at the beginning of the 13th century, Albrecht first supported the Hohenstaufen king Philip of Swabia as his brother Otto before him. After his assassination in 1208, he went to the Welf, as Emperor Otto IV gave him support in securing the county of Brandenburg against the Danes, which he confirmed in 1212. During this time Albrecht was repeatedly involved in disputes with Archbishop Albrecht I of Magdeburg. Albrecht II secured the regions of Teltow, Prignitz and parts of the Uckermark definitively for the Mark Brandenburg, but lost Pomerania.
If the grandfather Albrecht the bear is the founder of the Mark Brandenburg and the father Otto I. As the promoter and handlebar of the settlement movement, Stephan Warnatsch sums up to the sons: "[they] continued the initiated Territorialisierungsprozeß and started from the end of the 12th century. In the course of the Ostbewegung, the influx of settlers grew more and more and thus many more «personnel» were available for the expansion of the country, to the land Ruppin and above all to Barnim and Teltow. In addition, the OR and the southern Uckermark were objectives of the Ascanian expansion endeavor. Everywhere, however, there was conflict with the claims of competing princes. " 1]
Albrecht has been married since 1205 with Mathilde Vo
