Ostprignitz-Ruppin District, Administrative district in Brandenburg, Germany

Ostprignitz-Ruppin extends over 2,429 square kilometers of plains, dense forests, rivers, and lakes in northwestern Brandenburg with Neuruppin as its administrative center.

The district emerged in 1993 through the consolidation of three former districts: Kyritz, Neuruppin, and Wittstock, reflecting 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.

Local tourism offices throughout the district provide information about hiking trails, cycling routes, and accommodations, with the main office located in Neuruppin.

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.
