history

Picture in the church: Wuthenow and Neuruppin around 1694

In Slavic times there were two settlements on the Lanke, one within today's village, the other near the border with Neuruppin on the edge of the Lankeberg. At the beginning of the 13th century, German settlers settled around the mountain. Wuthenow is probably the oldest village in the Ruppiner Land , first mentioned in 1319 as Wotenowe , in the visitation report from 1541 as Wothenow above see . The landlords were the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin until the family died out in 1524. Subsequently, the village with the Ruppin rule fell to the Mark Brandenburg . From the beginning, Wuthenow was a pure farming village.

On December 6, 1993 Wuthenow was incorporated into Neuruppin.

On September 28, 2019, Wuthenow's 700th anniversary was celebrated with a pageant.
