history

Before the city fire (until 1787)

Neuruppin around 1694

The prehistoric settlement of the country ranges from the Middle Stone Age to the Younger Bronze Age with first Germanic, later Slavic settlements (in the old town area - including "Neuer Markt" - and in the surrounding area) on the banks of the Ruppiner See. In the late Slavic period this area was settled by the Zamzizi tribe, whose center was probably the Slavic castle Ruppin on the island of Poggenwerder near Alt Ruppin. After the Wendenkreuzzug in 1147 and the conquest of the country 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- lying 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 town ( Olden Ruppyn ) Alt Ruppin was created.

The settlement of today's Neuruppin with Nikolaikirche and anger- like street market was built southwest of the castle town from the beginning of the 13th century while retaining the name Ruppin .

The then (New) Ruppin was a planned city foundation by the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin , a branch of the Arnstein family who resided in Alt Ruppin. The first documentary mention comes from the year 1238. An extension of the original market settlement Alt Ruppin, up to today's city of Neuruppin, probably already took place before the establishment of the Dominican monastery in 1246 as the first settlement of the order between Elbe and Oder by the first prior Wichmann von Arnstein . The granting of the Stendal town charter took place on March 9, 1256 by Günther von Arnstein. The city was fortified in the 13th century by palisades and a rampart ditch system, and later it was fortified by walls and ramparts; 24  Wiekhäuser and two tall towers strengthened the city ​​walls . There were also three gates, the Altruppiner / Rheinsberger Tor in the north, the Berliner / Bechliner Tor in the south and the Seetor in the east. The complete walling took place at the latest towards the end of the 15th century.

Neuruppin's oldest part was an elongated green, accompanied by two parallel streets between the southern and northern city gates, and in the south the oldest church in Neuruppin (St. Nikolai). Neuruppin's main street had been paved since the middle of the 16th century . The trench from the Ruppiner Mesche ran right through Neuruppin, from northwest to the lake, to supply the city with process water and for drainage, which was partially filled in in 1537 and renewed as an open canal in Schinkelstrasse after the city fire in 1787.

Neuruppin was one of the larger north-east German cities in the Middle Ages . Parts of the city ​​wall , parts of the St. Trinitatis monastery church (1246), the St. George's chapel (1362), the infirmary (1490) with the St. Lazarus chapel, consecrated in 1491, and remnants of the Seeviertel have been preserved from this period . The medieval city had an almost square floor plan of around 700 m × 700 m, which is noticeably blunted at the eastern corner. The east-southeast side borders on the Ruppiner See.

To celebrate a peace treaty, Elector Joachim I organized a three-day knight tournament in Neuruppin in 1512, "which at that time made a name for itself in the whole country and was celebrated with a splendor that had never been seen in Berlin or at Cöllen on the Spree" ( Theodor Fontane : Walks through the Mark Brandenburg. First part: The County of Ruppin - Chapter 9).

After the counts of Lindow-Ruppin died out in 1524, Neuruppin came to the Elector Joachim I as a settled fiefdom . The Thirty Years' War also devastated Neuruppin.

In the course of the Reformation , ownership of the monastery fell to the elector around 1540. In 1564 he donated the monastery to the city. During this time there is a legend depicted in the monastery church about a mouse chasing a rat, which is interpreted as a sign that the church will remain Lutheran in the future .

A Latin school was first mentioned in a document in Neuruppin in 1365, which at times had supra-regional importance. Their history has been well documented since 1477. In 1777, Philipp Julius Lieberkühn and Johann Stuve took over the management of the school and reformed the school in the Graves' sense, which attracted general attention.

In 1688 Neuruppin became one of the first garrison towns in Brandenburg. After his unsuccessful escape attempt and subsequent imprisonment in Küstrin , Crown Prince Friedrich held the regiment on foot here, Crown Prince Friedrich 1732–1740 . During this time Bernhard Feldmann became a city ​​physician . His copies of historically interesting council files are considered to be the most important collection of sources on the early city history, as the original files were destroyed in the city fire in 1787. At times the proportion of soldiers and civilian troops was 1500 out of 3500 inhabitants. Neuruppin only lost this status with the withdrawal of the group of Soviet armed forces in Germany .

French Huguenots settled here after 1685 .

From 1740 the organ builder Gottlieb Scholtze had his workshop in Neuruppin, who u. a. built the organ in Rheinsberg .

City fire and reconstruction (1787–1803)

Memorial to Friedrich Wilhelm II.

The wildfire on Sunday, August 26th, 1787 was a turning point in the development of the city. The fire broke out in a barn filled with grain at Bechliner Tor in the afternoon and spread quickly. Only two narrow areas on the east and west edges of the city remained. A total of 401 bourgeois houses, 159 outbuildings and back buildings, 228 stables and 38 barns, the parish church of St. Mary, the town hall, the reformed church and the Prince's Palace were destroyed. There were no human lives to be mourned. The property damage was estimated at almost 600,000 thalers . The fire fund replaced approx. 220,000 thalers, a special church collection brought 60,000 thalers, and the Prussian government provided 130,000 thalers in retablissement funds for the reconstruction of the city. In total, the state spent over a million thalers in the following years.

Plan of the city of Neuruppin, 1789, Bernhard Mattias Brasch

The town planning director Bernhard Mattias Brasch (1741-1821), who has been active in the city since 1783 , implemented the requirements of the reconstruction commission and supervised the corresponding work. These took place in 1788–1803 based on a uniformly planned floor plan. Brasch's plan provided for the expansion of the city from 46 to almost 61  hectares with the removal of the ramparts between the temple garden and the lake. The two closely spaced north-south streets were combined to form an axis, which later became Karl-Marx-Straße. A rectangular network of streets was created with two-story eaves houses throughout . Long, wide streets, interrupted by stately squares , and houses in the early classical style have shaped the cityscape since that time. These urban planning reform principles are easy to recognize. With the reconstruction, a classicist city complex was created that is unique in this originality. It is also considered a prime example of early classicist urban design. The reconstruction was already completed in 1803. Only the completion of the parish church of St. Marien (built 1801–1806 by Philipp Bernard François Berson with the help of Carl Ludwig Engel ) dragged on until 1806 due to static problems.

Reconstruction in the 19th century (1804–1900)

Hand-colored Neuruppiner picture sheet, around 1850

Johann Bernhard Kühn (1750–1826) began in Neuruppin with the production of picture sheets , thematically designed and hand-colored single-sheet prints for a long time. His son Gustav Kühn (1794–1868) achieved editions of sometimes more than three million copies per year (e.g. the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71). The prints with the inscription Neu-Ruppin, available from Gustav Kühn, became known worldwide. Two other companies produced the popular picture sheets: Philipp Oehmigke and Hermann Riemschneider as well as Friedrich Wilhelm Bergemann. All three picture sheet producers managed to assert themselves in the German picture sheet manufacturer competition (over 60 companies throughout Germany) and to occupy the leading positions for a long time.

In September 1820 the 24th Infantry Regiment with staff and two battalions came to Neuruppin, while the Fusilier Battalion moved into garrison in Prenzlau . The regiment had been set up elsewhere in 1813 and had taken part in the wars of liberation and the occupation of France. Initially, the regiment was housed in Neuruppin citizens' quarters .

In 1877 the organ builder Albert Hollenbach set up his workshop in Neuruppin. From him come u. a. Organs in the churches of the districts of Bechlin, Buskow, Karwe, Nietwerder and Storbeck as well as the infirmary chapel in the old town of Neuruppin.

After 1880 Neuruppin became the center of a branch line network that was operated by the Ruppiner Eisenbahn AG until 1945 . This radiated to Fehrbellin – Paulinenaue (1880), Kremmen – Berlin and Wittstock – Meyenburg (1899) and Neustadt or Herzberg (1905). For this purpose, a railway embankment was built over the Ruppiner See, which cuts the lake 2.5 kilometers from the north bank in an east-west direction.

In 1893, the Neuruppin state insane asylum was built on the southern edge of the city center.

The city in the 20th century

Fire extinguishers have been manufactured in Neuruppin since 1905. The Minimax fire extinguishers in particular quickly became widespread due to their easy handling.

During the First World War , a squadron was stationed in Neuruppin and an airfield was created.

In 1921, an open-air estate was founded in the Gildenhall district by the master builder and settlement technician Georg Heyer (1880–1944), the aim of which was to bring together artists and artisans to live and work together in order to create everyday products affordable for everyone and in artisanal form and manufacture. It brought together well-known artists and artisans and existed until 1929.

Neuruppin emergency money from 1923 with city motifs

In 1926 the road next to the railway embankment across the Ruppiner See was completed. The Gildenhall and Wuthenow settlements were thus connected directly to Neuruppin. In 1929 these settlements were incorporated after the manor district of Treskow had been incorporated in 1928 .

After the National Socialists seized power in June 1933, more than 80 political opponents of the regime, mainly Social Democrats , Jews and Communists , were abducted to a makeshift prison operated by the SA within the building of a brewery on Altruppiner Allee, which was closed at the time. SA members tortured and ill-treated many of the prisoners here. A memorial stone created during the Soviet occupation in 1947 and the ensemble of figures created in 1981 at the instigation of the SED district leadership, which replaced the original memorial on the school square, commemorates them.

In 1934 the Neuruppin military airfield was revitalized as the Neuruppin Aviation School .

The approximately 90 Jewish citizens of the city were persecuted, deported and murdered during the Nazi era . Their old cemetery , established in 1824, was treated lightly, preserved Jewish gravestones were moved to the new cemetery (Evangelical cemetery) by order of the regimental commander of the Wehrmacht at the time , Paul von Hase . Since November 17, 2003, stumbling blocks in the city center and in Alt Ruppin have been remembering the murdered Jewish residents.

For the T4 campaign in the context of the murders of the sick during the Nazi era , the Neuruppin state insane asylum served as an intermediate facility for the Brandenburg killing center and the Bernburg killing center . Therefore the number of patients had risen from 1,971 on January 1, 1937 to 4,197 on April 1, 1940. In 1941 only 1,147 of the 1,797 planned beds were occupied. In 1943, the majority of the patients in Aktion Brandt were transferred to other institutions. The hospital was built during the Second World War, partly as a reserve military hospital used. After 1945, parts of the facility served as a district hospital. On September 20, 2004, six symbolic stumbling blocks for the euthanasia victims of the former state mental institution were laid on the premises of the Ruppiner Kliniken .

On May 1, 1945, the Soviet armed forces reached Neuruppin and prepared to bombard the city from the opposite bank of the lake. However, a stranger managed to hoist a white flag on the tower of the monastery church, as did the parish church. This prevented destruction. To the north of the Rheinsberger Tor train station , a Soviet honorary cemetery was established where over 220 Soviet soldiers were buried.

Neuruppin became one of the largest garrisons of the Soviet Army Group in Germany (GSSD). The Soviet armed forces used the military airfield located immediately north of the core city, the operation of which led to considerable noise pollution in the city. In 1989 massive demonstrations by the Neuruppiners in connection with the plans to continue using the Wittstock military training and air-to-ground firing range led to the closure of the airfield.

The New Stage theater was located in the city center until around 1950 . It was operated as part of the regional association of the Deutsche Volksbühne and had up to 95 employees.

In 1951 the electrical and physical workshops were founded in Neuruppin as a producer of electronic components. From 1970 they were expanded as Elektro-Physikalische Werke (EPW) to become the largest printed circuit board manufacturer in the GDR with up to 3500 workers. Later the operation was an essential part of the combine microelectronics . During the GDR era, Gühlen-Glinicke was home to the Frohe Zukunft GDR children's holiday camp .

In 1952, as a result of the district reform of the GDR, Neuruppin became the district town of the district of the same name in the Potsdam district .

As a result of the turning point and peaceful revolution in the GDR , the state of Brandenburg was re-established in 1990 , the Neuruppin district remained in existence for the time being.

Neuruppin as a socialist district town 1970–1989

Plans for the development of a modern district town with up to 100,000 inhabitants were made from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. The basis for this was the planned industrial and administrative development in the district town of Neuruppin. Since the 1970s, the VEB Elektrophysikalische Werke Neuruppin was built, which was supposed to take over the entire circuit board production for the microelectronics and entertainment technology industry in the GDR. The VEB Feuerlöschgerätewerke Neuruppin as the main producer of hand-held fire extinguishers of the Eastern Bloc countries united in the Comecon and the nationally owned baked goods combine as the main producer of all kinds of baked goods for the district town and the district of Neuruppin were expanded considerably. All of this required the influx of highly qualified management, research and development staff and many thousands of workers. The resident population of Neuruppin, resident until the end of the 1960s, was insufficient for this. During the planning, the convenient location at the intersection of four important branch lines of the Deutsche Reichsbahn with favorable north / south connections for freight and passenger traffic and the Berlin-Rostock / Hamburg motorway, which is being planned and later under construction (today A24 and A19 ), was also considered. included. The plans for a socialist district town included the construction of several residential complexes outside the settlement area of ​​the city that existed until 1968 and the redesign of the old town outside the medieval city wall. Because of the dwindling economic power of the socialist planned economy in the GDR, only the following urban development projects were implemented from the 1970s:

  • Development of the "VEB Electrophysical Works Neuruppin"
  • Establishment of the "State-owned Combine Baked Goods Neuruppin"
  • Expansion of the "VEB fire extinguishing equipment factory in Neuruppin"
  • 1961: Construction of the polyclinic (Neustädter Straße) for medical care
  • 1970–1974: Construction of the residential complex (WK) I Junckerstraße / Thomas-Mann-Straße / Franz-Maecker-Straße (GDR housing series IW 64 type Brandenburg / Markkleeberg)
  • 1970–1972: Construction of the road axes E-Strasse (initially without a name E-Strasse = relief road around the city center, since 1973 Heinrich-Rau-Strasse) and the north and south feeders to the motorway (today A 24),
  • 1972: Establishment of a public transport system that still works according to a regular timetable using the Neuruppin city bus
  • 1972–1974: Construction of the residential complex (WK) II Hermann-Matern-Strasse / Erich-Schulz-Strasse / August-Fischer-Strasse / Anna-Hausen-Strasse (GDR housing series IW 64 type Brandenburg / Markkleeberg)
  • 1970–1974: Construction and opening of children's combinations (crèche and kindergarten) in the residential complexes I and II, construction and opening of the POS Theodor Fontane / Karl-Liebknecht and the EOS Karl-Friedrich Schinkel, opening of department stores in the residential complexes I and II
  • 1978–1980: Extension of the residential complex I by building gaps (GDR housing series WBS 70 ) between WK I (Junckerstraße) and WK II (Hermann-Matern-Straße), from 1982 supplemented by delicatessen , fruit and vegetable trade and residential area restaurant in combination with FDJ -Jugendclub 019 (today club disco and night bar "Club 019"), construction of the community center in the residential complex II as a residential area restaurant, event hall and school catering for the POS Theodor Fontane / Karl Liebknecht
  • 1980–1991: Construction of residential complex III (GDR housing series WBS 70) Heinrich-Rau-Strasse / Bruno-Salvat-Strasse / Otto-Grotewohl-Strasse / Otto-Winzer-Strasse / Rudolf-Wendt-Strasse, some with apartments suitable for senior citizens

The historic old town of Neuruppin was spared from further redesign during GDR times for reasons of cost. The construction of a four-lane expressway following the model of the car-friendly city - from Fehrbelliner Straße along the current Regattastraße via Bollwerk, Crossing Seedamm / Steinstraße in the direction of Wittstocker Allee - faced financial bottlenecks in the GDR. The relocation of the VEB Feuerlöschgerätewerk Neuruppin and a real estate equalization of the areas and buildings used by the Soviet Army between the bulwark and the VEB Feuerlöschgerätewerk did not allow the economic strength of the GDR as early as the mid-1970s.

The 1970s

Neuruppin grew through the settlement and expansion of technology and industry, which was economically important for the GDR and the Comecon states and as an export to the NSW (non-socialist economic area) against foreign currency, from 1970 to 1989 from a small town with around 18,000 inhabitants to 33,000 Inhabitants due to influx of differently educated people from all parts of the GDR In addition there were the many foreign workers and apprentices from the socialist brother states of Vietnam, Angola, Cuba and the Soviet armed forces stationed with around 12,000 men (including their families). A diverse population developed in the new residential complexes I to III.

The old town of Neuruppin 1980–1990

Due to the socialist shortage economy of the GDR, the old town of Neuruppin was spared the planned modern remodeling, but fell into noticeable deterioration by the end of the 1970s. Since the 1980s, the SED of the GDR reflected on the historical history of the cities. With this background, the old town of Neuruppin was reconstructed from 1980 to 1986 with the help of the then mayor Harald Lemke under the possible GDR conditions according to the classicist model.

Future residential complexes I to III

Contrary to the trend after 1989 in the federal state of Brandenburg, no residential buildings were demolished in residential complexes I to III. All apartments in the residential complexes I to III Neuruppin are 100% in municipal or cooperative management (statistics as of 2015) and are 99% let.

Neuruppin after the incorporation in 1993

The history of the individual districts is presented in the individual district articles; this section only deals with the history of the city as a whole and especially that of the core city.
Neuruppin town hall
House I of the Ruppin Clinics

When the districts were reorganized, which came into force on December 6, 1993, the Neuruppin district was merged into the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district . On the same day, Neuruppin was significantly enlarged by incorporating the town of Alt Ruppin and the communities of Buskow, Gnewikow, Gühlen-Glienicke, Karwe, Krangen, Lichtenberg, Molchow, Nietwerder, Radensleben, Stöffin, Wulkow and Wuthenow.

Until 1991 Neuruppin was still the location of the 12th Soviet Armored Division. The barracks were later converted into residential houses as an outdoor project as part of the Expo 2000 . Parts of the airfield are now used for gliding .

In 1996, what was then the Neuruppin Regional Clinic and the district hospital as a Ruppin hospital were transferred to the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district as part of the Ruppiner Kliniken GmbH . The Ruppiner clinics are thus one of the largest regional employers.

The Protestant church districts Ruppin and Wittstock / Dosse merged in 1998, Neuruppin lost the seat of the superintendent to Wittstock.

On March 11, 1998, the city was given the additional designation Fontanestadt .

On January 1, 2001, the Public Prosecutor's Office for Corruption was founded in Neuruppin as the successor to the department for GDR injustice and district crime. She is responsible for corruption offenses throughout the state of Brandenburg.

On September 7th, 2002 the 7th Brandenburg Day took place in Neuruppin with around 230,000 visitors. Under the influence of the Elbe floods in Saxony in July 2002 , numerous artists such as Udo Lindenberg and Gerhard Schöne donated their fees for the flood victims.

In May 2009 it became publicly known for the first time that the groundwater under a new development area on Ruppiner See was contaminated with halogenated hydrocarbons . The district of Ostprignitz-Ruppin, as the responsible environmental authority, admitted that it had known about the environmental pollution since 1999 through measurements taken during earlier construction projects.

On May 12, 2011 the iodine-containing thermal brine Neuruppin received the first state recognition of a healing spring in the state of Brandenburg. The thermal brine is used by the Fontane-Therme on the edge of the old town in the wellness area and for heating purposes.
