history

The first documentary mention comes from 1256 as a tax woman . The name is derived from the Slavic word Stavn and means village lying on the standing water . Around 1490 Stöffin was part of the Ruppin rule, which was essentially imperial, under the rule of the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin . After the Thirty Years' War the place developed very slowly, around 1800 202 inhabitants lived here. On December 6, 1993, Stöffin was incorporated into Neuruppin.

The field stone church was built in the 13th century. The church is a single-nave construction made of field stone. The tower collapsed in 1703 and was renewed in 1727. Inside there is an altarpiece from 1727, the pulpit is from the same year. The church belongs to the Protestant parish Protzen-Wustrau-Radensleben in the Wittstock-Ruppin parish of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .

On October 10, 2009, as part of the restructuring of the Neuruppin fire brigade, the Stöffin volunteer fire brigade together with the fire brigades from the Treskow residential area and the Buskow district formed the new south-west fire engine . At the same time, the new fire station for this fire engine was inaugurated at Hermann-Riemschneider-Strasse 2 in Neuruppin.
