Do you wonder what is the story of a brick, how much is already underway? As the European continent, bricks appeared in the twelfth century in northwest Italy, and were introduced in northern Germany. It was then established brick-called Gothic, a style that flourished in northern Europe, especially in the Baltic Sea regions, which have no natural resources of the rocks. Brick buildings in the Gothic style was built almost entirely of brick, with headquarters in Denmark, Germany, Poland and Russia. In the Renaissance and Baroque brick was unpopular, and the wall was often covered with plaster. Only in the mid eighteenth century brick regained some popularity, as evidenced, for example, the Dutch Quarter in Potsdam. Transport of bulk construction materials like bricks over long distances are rarely made before developing a network of canals of the century, railways, roads and trucks. Until then, the bricks were in the vicinity of your destination. In England in the eighteenth century, transport of the bricks were made by horse and cart at a distance of ten miles (sixteen kilometers) along rural roads.
