November 9, 2025, Up Hus – Oldest Half-Timbered House in Neuruppin

The building was erected in 1694 and is the second oldest surviving half-timbered house in the city. It houses the UpHus restaurant and hotel, from which the building takes its name. The St. Lazurus Chapel, a former leper colony, is also part of the complex. It is located at Siechenstraße 4, 16816 Neuruppin. https://www.goruma.de/staedte/neuruppin/neuruppin-sehenswuerdigkeiten

The monumental stainless steel sculpture "Parzival am See" (Parzival by the Lake) on the shore of Lake Ruppin is far more than just a work of art; it is a powerful symbol of change and hope. Standing a proud 17 meters tall, Parzival, created by the artist Matthias Zágon Hohl-Stein, was unveiled in 1998 to mark the town's renaming as "Fontanestadt" (Fontane City). The symbolism is particularly striking: In one hand, Parzival holds a windmill, in the other an ark – symbols of progress and preservation. The sculpture represents a new Neuruppin without a garrison, a city on the move, confronting its history while simultaneously looking to the future. An inspiring place that invites reflection – and a fantastic photo opportunity right on the lakeshore. Anyone visiting Neuruppin should definitely take a look at this modern-day knight. https://tourismus-neuruppin.de/kultur-erleben-neuruppin/sehenswertes-neuruppin/119-parzival-am-see-neuruppin

Even from afar, the landmark of the Fontane city of Neuruppin greets you – the St. Trinitatis Monastery Church on Lake Ruppin with its twin towers. In 1246, Gebhard von Arnstein founded a Dominican monastery here – the first Dominican monastery in what would later become the Margraviate of Brandenburg. Construction of the church began at the same time, and it was later expanded with the addition of a hall church. In 1517, the monastery lost its function due to the Reformation and was demolished. The church, however, survived and was extensively restored between 1836 and 1841 according to the plans of the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The approximately 63-meter-high towers were added in 1907 and can be climbed during a night hike. Right next to the city wall, between the church and Lake Ruppin, stands the over 700-year-old Wichmann Linden tree. Legend has it that Father Wichmann, the first prior of the Dominican monastery, is buried here with a treasure. https://www.tourismus-neuruppin.de/kultur-erleben-neuruppin/sehenswertes-neuruppin/112-klosterkirche-st-trinitatis-wichmannlinde-neuruppin

The small yellow fountain stands right in front of the tower, which actually doesn't offer much
