Ostprignitz-Ruppin District, Administrative district in Brandenburg, Germany
Ostprignitz-Ruppin is a rural district in northwestern Brandenburg that spreads across plains, dense forests, rivers, and lakes. Neuruppin serves as the main administrative center of the area.
The district was formed in 1993 through the merger of three former administrative divisions: Kyritz, Neuruppin, and Wittstock. This consolidation brought together the historical regions of Ostprignitz and Ruppin.
The district coat of arms displays an eagle from the Counts of Arnstein, a fleur-de-lis representing the Counts von Plotho, and a mitre symbolizing Wittstock.
Tourism information centers are found throughout the district to help visitors plan hiking trips, cycling routes, and find accommodations. The main office in Neuruppin is a good starting point for exploring the region.
The district experienced its highest population of 157,875 residents in 1946 following World War II, compared to the current population of approximately 99,871.
