Löwenberger Land

Established on December 31, 1997 it consists of 15 villages:

Löwenberg was first mentioned in a 1269 deed, when it was acquired by the Bishopric of Brandenburg from the Brandenburg Margraves. A Gothic fieldstone church was erected in the 13th century. The church and large parts of the village were devastated by a fire in 1808. In 1877 Löwenberg gained access to the new Prussian Nordbahn railway line from Berlin to Neubrandenburg.

The municipality is known for Liebenberg Castle (Schloss Liebenberg) built in 1745, the former residence of Philipp, Prince of Eulenburg (1847–1921) who from 1886 on held a homophile political salon - the Liebenberg Circle - here. Members included the Berlin military commander Kuno von Moltke, the later Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow and Emperor Wilhelm II. The circle broke up in 1907 with the Harden-Eulenburg Affair.

Löwenberg is situated at the junction of the Bundesstraßen 96 and 167. The Löwenberg railway station is served by the Nordbahn line from Berlin to Stralsund. In east-west direction train connections are also available toward Prenzlau and Rheinsberg. Further Nordbahn railway stations are also in the villages of Grüneberg and Nassenheide.

• Libertas Schulze-Boysen, Resistance fighter, born November 20, 1913 in Paris, died December 22, 1942 in Berlin Plötzensee Prison, granddaughter of Philipp zu Eulenburg, spent her childhood at Liebenberg Castle.
