Fontane birth house
The Fontane birthplace in Neuruppin , at today's Karl-Marx-Straße 84, was built after the city fire of 1787 as part of the reconstruction in 1788. The pharmacist Louis Henry Fontane (1796–1867) and Emilie (1798–1869) born. Labry had married in 1819 and moved from Berlin to Neuruppin. You could buy the house with attached pharmacy cheaply. At the entrance to the Löwen-Apotheke, which still exists today, a memorial plaque reminds of the following inscription:
"In this house
was
Theodor Fontane
on 30 December 1819
was born."
In 1826, Louis Henry Fontane had to sell the house because of his gambling debts.
The house was extensively redesigned in 1867 with a third floor and a plastered facade. In 1932 the hallway was moved to the left and mainly the ground floor was structurally changed by adding a contemporary limestone cladding.
In January 2010 it was awarded the “Our Monument of the Month” award by the “Cities with Historic Town Centers” working group of the State of Brandenburg .
The house is privately owned and houses the “Löwen-Apotheke” on the ground floor as well as the studio of the artist Robert Werner Wagner.
