The Hevelli or Hevellians/ Navellasîni (sometimes ''Havolane''; or ''Stodoranen''; or ''Stodoranie''; or ''Stodorané'') were a tribe of the Polabian Slavs, who settled around the middle Havel river in the present-day Havelland region of Brandenburg in eastern Germany from the 8th century onwards.
West Slavs, West Slavic tribes ("Wends") had settled in the ''Germania Slavica'' region from the 7th century onwards. The ''Hehfeldi'' as they were called by the Bavarian Geographer about 850 built their main fortification at Brenna (later to become Brandenburg an der Havel) and a large eastern outpost at the current site of Spandau (locality), Spandau. In 906 the Hevelli princess Drahomíra married the Přemyslid dynasty, Přemyslid duke Vratislaus I, Duke of Bohemia, Vratislaus I of Bohemia. Baçlabič was the prince of Hevelli from 921-936, succeeded by Otto the Great#Slavic wars, Tugumir.Hirsch, Paul and H.-E. Lohmann (eds.), (1935). ''Die Sachsengeschichte des Widukind von Korvei''. Monumenta Germaniae Historica, MGH Scriptores rerum Germanicarum in usum scholarum 60. Hanover.
Brenna was occupied by the Kingdom of Germany, German king Henry the Fowler in his 928/29 Slavic campaign and incorporated into the ''Marca Geronis''. Henry's successor Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, Otto I in 948 established the Diocese of Brandenburg, Bishopric of Brandenburg in order to Christianize the pagan population. These efforts were aborted in the course of the 983 Slavic revolt of 983, Great Slav Rising in the Northern March, which again defied German control over the region. Together with the neighbouring Sprevane in the east, the Hevelli waged war against not only the German Duchy of Saxony, Saxon forces to the west, but also other Slavic tribes.
The baptized Hevelli prince Pribislav-Henry, Pribislav (died 1150) finally bequested his lands to the House of Ascania, Ascanian count Albert the Bear. Albert until 1157 could re-conquer the territory of the former Northern March, whereafter he established the Margraviate of Brandenburg. The Slavic Hevelli were gradually assimilated by Germans, German settlers in the course of the ''Ostsiedlung''.
