What it is
A walk through the places of Neuruppin's two famous sons. The Löwen-Apotheke, at Karl-Marx-Straße 84, is the house where Theodor Fontane was born. Nearby, the writer waits in bronze seated on a bench, legs crossed, his walking stick to one side and his pencil in his hand. St Mary's Church, rebuilt after the fire, is now the Kulturkirche and holds an exhibition on the great fire of 1787; behind it is the monument to Karl Friedrich Schinkel. On the way, the Altes Gymnasium and the Predigerwitwenhaus, a half-timbered house of 1736 that survived the fire.
