A magical place for visitors to Neuruppin is the building that houses the Löwenapotheke pharmacy at Karl-Marx-Str. 84 – it was here that Theodor Fontane was born on December 30, 1819. His father had bought the house and pharmacy at a good price in 1819 shortly before the birth of his son, moving with his family to the small town in the Brandenburg Marches. As a pharmacist, his father was one of the town’s dignitaries. “Printer Gustav Kühn and painter Wilhelm Gentz were my playmates,” Fontane later wrote in his childhood memories. His father Louis Henry Fontane was popular as a charming conversationalist, but he had one flaw: he was addicted to gambling. After losing his entire fortune within seven years, he was forced to sell the house and the family moved to Swinoujscie.
