What makes Templin so special? This charming city has a lot to offer with its historic city center and impressive city walls. Templin is one of the founding members of the “Cities with Historic City Centers” working group in the state of Brandenburg. The well-preserved medieval setting makes Templin unique in the north and attracts numerous tourists. The city wall in particular, a complete ring with a length of 1,735 meters and 47 houses, is the most important building in the city. It has survived the centuries and testifies to the rich history of the region, especially after the great fire of 1735, when the old town was rebuilt.

The development of Templin: From destruction to prosperity

A look into the past shows how turbulent Templin's history was. During National Socialism, life in the city was very standardized; A tragic bomb attack on March 6, 1944 claimed 215 lives and destroyed around 60% of the city center. Even more than 70 years later, there are visible vacant lots in some places. But the Templiners won't let themselves be defeated. The city has continually reinvented itself and plans to normalize life in the city with projects such as building a new district hospital and opening a youth hostel.

After the Second World War, Templin came to the Neubrandenburg district in 1952, which cut off the old roots of Brandenburg. Nevertheless, the city remained focused on food and forestry as well as increasing tourism. In fact, Templin was recognized as a “state-recognized climatic health resort” in 1971 and later received the title of “state-recognized resort.” These awards have consolidated Templin's reputation as a family-friendly spa town and contributed to its development into a “thermal salt spa”.

A look into the future

The citizens of Templin show great commitment to their city, be it in the renovation of the “Multicultural Center” or in the revitalization of the “Joachimsthalsche Gymnasium”. The extensive renovation of the city wall, which was carried out with great attention to detail, also shows the city residents' determination to preserve their heritage and at the same time set new milestones. It is not without reason that Templin is called “The Pearl of the Uckermark”.

Its history, the well-preserved old town with its charming squares and the warm atmosphere attract not only the locals but also more and more tourists. The city has a good knack for making its cultural treasures accessible to the general public. And so Templin will continue to be a place in the future where history remains alive and new stories are written.
