Overview.
In the 13th century, a separate branch of the
comital House of Arnstein was established. It possessed Lindau / Lindow and
Ruppin.
In 1457 (confirmed in 1461), the Count Albert
sold the County of Lindau to the Princes of Anhalt, but retained the repurchase
right.
In 1524, the branch of Lindau-Ruppin became
extinct in the male line, and Ruppin passed to the Mark
Brandenburg.
