The Nieplitz is a left tributary of the Nuthe in Brandenburg.

The river rises in the flaming at Frohnsdorf, then take the path through Treuenbrietzen between the villages Niebel and Niebelhorst, and Buchholz and Lühsdorf, crosses under the highway 2 at the Buchholz mill and then flows near Salzbrunn and Reesdorf direction Beelitz. In an outgoing arc to the east of the river crossing again the main road 2, then flows parallel to the main road 246 past Schönefeld, Zauchwitz and Körzin until after Stangenhagen. Shortly before the Blankensee the Nieplitz picks up the pepper flow that introduces the water from the flooded areas and the grave systems at Stangenhagen and Körzin. The mouth of the Fließes lies exactly opposite the place where the relatively wide Königsgraben opens into the Nieplitz. Namesake of the ditch was Frederick the Great, who had to create it in the years 1772-1782, so that at the time considerable water volume of pepper Fließes and wetlands at the following Nieplitz chain of lakes over derived faster directly to the Nuthe and the country in Frederick demanded usable state could be moved.

The Nieplitz connects later in the Blankensee with the Grössinsee and the small tubular Schiaßer lake, and flows after about 48 km flow path between the Gröbener Kietzmann and Jütchendorf in the Nuthe. To both rivers the Nuthe Nieplitz was set up with wet, green meadows, former floodplains and smaller Elsbruchen.

On Blankensee lock the Nieplitz branched into several small tributaries that flow through the remarkable Sudermann Park with its peculiar Italian - Brandenburg note and are spanned by several curved bridges.

From Treuenbrietzen the run was straightened, deepened and embanked in places so that the Nieplitz rather a channel resembles in many places as a river.

The name derives from the Slavic Nieplitz and roughly means The Nichtschiffbare - in contrast to Nuthe which was navigable up to 40 m wide and from their various regulations in parts still around 1880.
