Templin is a small town in the
Uckermark district of
Brandenburg . Though it has a population of only 17,127, it is with 377.01 km2 (145.56 sq mi) the second largest town in Brandenburg (after
Wittstock ) and the seventh largest town in Germany by area. The town is located in the south of the rural
Uckermark region and its capital
Prenzlau , north of the
Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve . The town was first mentioned in a 1270 deed issued by Henry of Ostheeren, Bishop of Brandenburg. Then a possession of the Ascanian margraves of Brandenburg, it appeared as a town in 1314 under Margrave Waldemar, who in 1317 concluded the
Treaty of Templin here, ending the war against Denmark, Mecklenburg and the Duchy of Pomerania. Heavily devastated by Danish troops in the
Thirty Years’ War , Templin from 1816 on belonged to the Prussian province of Brandenburg near the border with Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
From 1912 on, Templin was the seat of the Electoral Brandenburgian boarding school (Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium) established in 1601 by Elector Joachim III Frederick of Hohenzollern at nearby Joachimsthal . The school was finally dissolved in 1953.

Templin has recently built a spa and mainly relies on tourism. It is a popular destination for day-trippers from
Berlin to enjoy the many glacial lakes and extended forests. There is no discothèque in Templin, the closest is in Milmersdorf. The town square with the old town hall building is surrounded by an active downtown. There are many shops and restaurants in the area and an outdoor market every week. Many neighbouring municipalities like Milmersdorf and several other villages rely on Templin for many services.
