Brake is the district seat of Wesermarsch district in northern Germany. The term "Brake" first cropped up in the 14th century when an unsealed break in a dike led to flooding in the Harrier area. In 1856 Brake was raised to city.

Rear Admiral Karl Rudolf Brommy (changed his name to reflect the English pronunciation of his original name, Bromme) (10 September 1804 – 9 January 1860) was a German naval officer who helped establish the first unified German fleet, the Reichsflotte, during the First Schleswig War which broke out just before the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states.
During his youth, he had served in the Greek Navies under the command of Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald. A skilled sea commander, Brommy also made significant contributions to German naval education and shore infrastructure.
