Neuruppin

Neuruppin is a town in Brandenburg, Germany, the administrative seat of OstprignitzRuppin district. It is the birthplace of the novelist Theodor Fontane and therefore also referred to as Fontanestadt. A garrison town since 1688 and largely rebuilt in a Neoclassical style after a devastating fire in 1787, Neuruppin has the reputation of being the most Prussian of all Prussian towns.

The novelist Theodor Fontane, the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the lieutenant colonel Otto Friedrich Ferdinand von Grschen, the general Hermann Hoth, the serial killer Carl Gromann and the actor Klaus Schwarzkopf were born in Neuruppin. The architect Joachim Ludwig Schultheiss von Unfriedt was possibly from Altruppin.
