Angermünde
{{#invoke:other uses|otheruses}} Template:Infobox German place
Angermünde ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}) is a town in the district of Uckermark in the state of Brandenburg, in north-eastern Germany. It is about Template:Convert northeast of Berlin, the capital of Germany.
The population is about 14,000, but has been declining since its traditional industrial base, enamel-working, has declined. An administrative sub-centre of its district, it has several Protestant churches, a former Franciscan church, a number of schools of higher learning and a recently refurbished historic marketplace with an old town hall. Located in the game-filled forests of the Uckermark, with its many lakes, it now relies heavily on tourism and the sources of revenue linked to it.
Since 2010, Angermünde is a federally declared resort town.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
