Wustrau-Altfriesack

Wustrau-Altfriesack is located on the shores of the Bützsee and Ruppiner See in the Ruppiner Land. The district includes the districts of Altfriesack, Wustrau and Zietenhorst. It is crossed by the Landesstraße 164. The Kremmen–Meyenburg railway runs northeast past the municipality.

Altfriesack was originally a fishing village, which was first mentioned in a document in 1421. The medieval town centre is located on an island in the connection between Lake Ruppin and Lake Bützsee to the south. In the southern part of the island, the Altfriesack castle wall was probably a cultic centre of the Slavic tribe of the Zamzizi in the Middle Ages. In the Neues Museum Berlin is the Altfriesacker Götze, the figure of a Slavic pole god found in Altfriesack.
