[[File:Neuruppin1850.jpg|thumb|right|Hand colored Neuruppin picture sheet, around 1850]][[Johann Bernhard Kühn]] (1750-1826) began producing picture sheets in Neuruppin, thematically designed and for a long time as hand-colored broadsides. His son [[Gustav Kühn]] (1794-1868) achieved print runs of sometimes over three million copies per year (e.g., the [[Franco-Prussian War]] of 1870/71). The prints became known worldwide with the inscription ''Neu-Ruppin, zu haben bei Gustav Kühn''. Three other companies produced the popular picture sheets: [[Philipp Oehmigke]], [[Hermann Riemschneider]], and [[Friedrich Wilhelm Bergemann]]. All three picture sheet producers managed to hold their own in the German picture sheet manufacturer competition (more than 60 companies throughout Germany) and to occupy the leading positions for a long time.

From 1815 to 1945, Neuruppin was part of the [[Prussia|Prussian]] [[Province of Brandenburg]]. In September 1820, the [[Infantry Regiment 24]] came to Neuruppin with its staff and two battalions, while the [[Fusilier]] Battalion took up garrison in Prenzlau.<ref>[[Franz von Zychlinski]]: ''Geschichte des 24. Infanterie-Regiments'', Band 2 (1816–1838, {{URN|nbn:de:bvb:12-bsb10595378-7}}). Mittler, Berlin 1908, S. 36.</ref> The regiment had been raised elsewhere in 1813, and had participated in the wars of liberation and the occupation of France. Initially, the regiment was housed in Neuruppin burghers' quarters.

In 1877, the organ builder [[Albert Hollenbach]] set up his workshop in Neuruppin. His works include organs in the churches of the districts of Bechlin, Buskow, Karwe, Nietwerder and Storbeck as well as the Siechenhauskapelle in the old town of Neuruppin. After 1880, Neuruppin became the center of a branch line network, which was operated by the [[Ruppiner Eisenbahn AG]] until 1945. This radiated to Fehrbellin-Paulinenaue (1880), Kremmen-Berlin and Wittstock-Meyenburg (1899), and Neustadt and Herzberg respectively (1905). For this purpose, a railroad embankment was built across the Ruppiner See, cutting across the lake 2.5 kilometers from the north shore in an east–west direction.

In 1893, the Neuruppin State Lunatic Asylum was built on the southern edge of the central city.
