The small Hanseatic city has a picturesque historic city center, whose visit is definitely worthwhile. In the historic city center you are guaranteed to find a nice place to stay or a cozy restaurant or cafe to fortify you.

Kyritz is widely known as "Kyritz an der Knatter", which may surprise you, as the small river Jäglitz flows through the city. Legend has it that the name dates from the time when travelers stopped here between Berlin and Hamburg and felt disturbed by the clatter and rumble of the wooden mill wheels.

A sleepy town in the Prignitz but nice to look at.

Kyritz, population approx. 9,300, has Slavic roots, was repopulated from the Rhine region and from Holland and Flanders from the middle of the 12th century and was a member of the Hanseatic League. After the Thirty Years' War, the deserted city was again populated from the west. In the 18th century it became a Prussian garrison town.
