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.
