Via Marchionis is a medieval trade route that for centuries connected Brandenburg with Gdańsk, constituting a key corridor of trade and cultural exchange between Western Europe and the Baltic Sea. Today, its legacy survives in the form of National Road 22 in Poland, German Road 1, the Ostbahn railway line and the International Waterway E-70.
