Rheinsberg (German: [ˈʁaɪ̯nsˌbɛɐ̯k] ⓘ) is a town and a municipality in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district, in Brandenburg, Germany. It is located on lake Grienericksee [de] and the river Rhin, approximately 20 km north-east of Neuruppin and 75 km north-west of Berlin.
Frederick the Great, while still Crown Prince, designed and moved into a restored chateau in Rheinsberg shortly after his 1733 marriage to Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Bevern. Here he experienced his "Rheinsberg Period", an era marked by regular correspondence with Voltaire, boisterous celebration in the company of minor philosophers and musicians, and the writing of several works of political theory, including the Anti-Machiavel.[3]
In 1870, the painter Eduard Gaertner and his family decided to leave the hectic atmosphere of Berlin and settle in Flecken Zechlin, a suburb of Rheinsberg - where he lived until his death in 1877.
Rheinsberg is the location for Kurt Tucholsky's Rheinsberg, a 1912 picture book for lovers based on an autobiographical weekend trip.
