Ruppin

Ruppin was the lordship of the counts of Lindow-Ruppin around Lake Ruppin in Brandenburg. Count Ulrich II ruled there in 1337.

The counts expanded their territory, but Ruppin was under the overlordship of Brandenburg's margraves. When Count Wichmann died without an heir in 1524, Elector Joachim I annexed the lordship. A kinsman challenged the annexation in court, but his suit failed in 1562.
