history

Alt Ruppin around 1650 with the castle

In the Middle Ages, the Slavic castle Ruppin was located on the island of Poggenwerder in the north of the Ruppiner See . It was probably the center of the Zamzizi tribe . After the Wendenkreuzzug in 1147 and the conquest of the Ruppiner Land by German nobles , Ruppin Castle (also Planenburg ) was built around 1200 on the Amtswerder, a peninsula next to the island of Poggenwerder, as a large low- rise castle and political center of the Ruppin rule . In the northern foreground a market settlement with Nikolaikirche was built, to the east of it and beyond the Rhins the Kietz : the settlement Ruppin, later called Alt Ruppin ( Olden Ruppyn ), was created.

Around 1214, Count Gebhard von Arnstein took over Ruppin Castle. This became the progenitor of the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin . Between 1230 and 1240, under the hand of Gebhard, the Lindow Monastery was founded northeast of Ruppin .

The first written mention comes from the year 1237 as Olden Rupyn .

From the beginning of the 13th century, the settlement of today's Neuruppin with Nikolaikirche and anger- like street market was built southwest of the castle town as a planned city foundation by the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin from the original market settlement of Alt Ruppin. A second monastery was founded here in 1246. This Dominican monastery was also donated by Gebhard von Arnstein. At that time Ruppin was the central town of the county. From there, Gebhard's son, Gunther I, granted the monastery (Neu-) Ruppin town rights on March 9, 1256 ( Stendal law).

In 1520 Wichmann von Lindow took over the county, but died four years later. With this, the count's house of those von Lindow went out in 1524. The rule of Ruppin fell to the Brandenburg Elector and from then on formed the Ruppin district .
