The city charter was Fehrbellin 1294. The ferry over the Rhinluch and a corduroy road are attested from the 1402nd Fehrbellin is on the Berlin – Wilsnack pilgrimage route , which has been committed since the end of the 14th century.
The current district of Walchow was first mentioned in a document in 1445 as walchouw . In the 17th century the place was completely destroyed. In the same century the Dutch and the Palatinate settled here.
In 1616 the Rhin bridge to Neuruppin was built. Since the beginning of the 17th century, the Feldberg village church served as the parish church for Fehrbellin and as the main church of the little country Bellin. Patronages were initially the bishops of Havelberg, then the lords of Bellin zu Bellin, and from 1657 the electoral office of Bellin.
Langen, Manker, Walchow and Wustrau were burned down by imperial troops in the Thirty Years War in 1638.
In the Battle of Fehrbellin in the Swedish-Brandenburg War , the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg defeated on June 18 . / June 28, 1675 greg. the Swedes and after this victory conquered Swedish-Pomerania, which was ruled by the Swedes, by 1678 . On this occasion, Kaiser Wilhelm II gave the city of Fehrbellin a large equestrian statue of the Great Elector. It was created by the Berlin sculptor Fritz Schaper and unveiled on October 18, 1902. The battle is a central plot element in Heinrich von Kleist's drama Prince Friedrich von Homburg .
The Havelländisches Luch was drained in the early 18th century and the Rhinluch at the end of the century. Since 1840, peat mining, which served to supply Berlin with fuel, developed into an important branch of the economy.

Attractions
Buildings
- City church (built 1865–66 according to plans by Stüler ) made of yellow brick in neo-Gothic style with a 41 meter high tower. The three-aisled church stands on the site of the late medieval church in the village of Feldberg, which was expanded around 1700. From the middle of the 19th century the church became too small for the city, which was growing due to the economic boom. In 1858, Stüler presented a draft for a new building, which was revised by the district architect Becker. In 1865 the demolition of the old church and the new construction began. This was consecrated in 1867. The bricks came from Lindow and Linum. After various renovations, the interior of the building was restored in 1998. With its monumental design, the church is one of the most important church buildings in a Brandenburg provincial town in the middle of the 19th century. It can be assumed that the commissioning of the royal master builder Stüler and the imposing size of the church should remind of Fehrbellin's importance for Brandenburg-Prussian history.
