Neuhardenberg (, ) is a municipality in the district Märkisch-Oderland, in Brandenburg, in north-eastern Germany. It is the site of Neuhardenberg Palace, residence of the Prussian statesman Prince Karl August von Hardenberg (1750–1822). The municipal area comprises the villages of Altfriedland, Quappendorf and Wulkow. Neuhardenberg is part of the Amt ("collective municipality") Seelow-Land.
==Names of the place== The oldest record mentioning the place, then named Quilicz, dates back to 1348. Later the spelling was changed into Quilitz. When in 1814 Karl August von Hardenberg received the manor, he renamed the place right away into Neu-Hardenberg (). On Labour Day, 1 May 1949, the precursors of German Democratic Republic renamed it Marxwalde after Karl Marx. This was reversed on January 1, 1991. Since then the place has borne the old name Neuhardenberg (without the hyphen).
