Ruppiner Land
The Ruppiner Land (also Land Ruppin ) is a historic landscape in the northwest of the state of Brandenburg around the cities of Neuruppin , Rheinsberg and Gransee . It is the former area of the Ruppin rule (around 1214 to 1524) and the Ruppin district that emerged from it (1524 to 1952). Theodor Fontane set a literary monument to the Ruppiner Land with the first volume of his walks through the Mark Brandenburg , which appeared in 1862 under the title Die Grafschaft Ruppin , and with his novel Der Stechlin from 1897/98.
geography
The Ruppiner Land is now part of the districts of Ostprignitz-Ruppin and Oberhavel . It stretches between the Kleiner Pälitzsee in the north, the Havel in the east, the Rhin in the south and the Jäglitz and Dosse in the west, without these waters continuously forming the border. In terms of landscape, it borders on Mecklenburg in the northeast , in particular on the Fürstenberger Werder , in the east on the Uckermark , in the southeast on the Löwenberg region , in the south on the Havelland and in the west and north on the Prignitz . The main town of the Ruppiner Land is the city of Neuruppin . Other current or former cities are Alt Ruppin , Gransee , Lindow (Mark) , Neustadt (Dosse) , Rheinsberg and Wusterhausen / Dosse .
In terms of natural space , the Ruppiner Land is taken up by the Rheinsberg Lake District in the north, a part of the Neustrelitz Kleinseenland , by the Granseer Platte in the northeast, by the Rüthnicker Heide in the southeast, by the Rhinluch in the south, by the Ruppiner Platte in the southwest and by the Wittstock- Ruppiner Heide in the northwest, which includes Ruppin Switzerland .
The Tourismusverband Ruppiner Seenland e. V. in Neuruppin operated temporarily as Tourismusverband Ruppiner Land e. V. Despite this name, the area of this association also includes parts of the districts of Ostprignitz-Ruppin and Oberhavel that do not belong to the Ruppiner Land.
