Sophienhof Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel was built in 1873 in the Byzantine round-arch style, as is common in the Russian Orthodox Church. The Lübeck merchant Nikolaus Johanssen, owner of the Sophienhof estate, had the chapel built by the Riga architect Heinrich Carl Scheel (1829-1909) - based on the model of the Russian churches in the Baltic States that he knew from trade relations. The Russian church in Baden-Baden also served as a model.

The entrance area of the chapel consists of a vestibule with three open arcade arches, above which the inscriptions "Glory to God in the highest" and "For the wanderer to contemplate" are written. The central building is designed as a cloverleaf choir, over which a dome was built. In the middle of the choir stands a baptismal angel on a marble base, which was created for the chapel by Eduard Lürssen.

In 1962 the chapel became the property of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Preetz

Parnaß Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower consists of a single-storey plinth in brick masonry and an uncovered steel framework tower with a staircase and a viewing platform at a height of 20 m. H. at 85 m above sea level. The tower was built in 1888 by the Plön Beautification Association.
In 1975 the tower was closed for security reasons. After a true-to-factory renovation by the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the city of Plön, it was reopened to the public on July 5, 1985.
Depending on the weather, the Parnassos observation tower is usually open from Easter to the end of October daily from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Entry is free. Plön and the surrounding lake landscape can be seen from the tower's viewing platform.
On the south side of the tower base there is a memorial for those who fell in the wars from 1848 to 1851 and 1870 to 1871. There are three flat, arched niches with:
an iron cross with the coat of arms of Schleswig-Holstein and the dates 1848 and 1849 (in memory of the Schleswig-Holstein war) and the text: "Up forever ungedeelt!"
a medallion of Kaiser Wilhelm I and the text "To the honorable memory / of those who fell in the battles of 1848-1851 and 1870-1871 / warriors of the Plön district".
an iron cross with a crown, a "W" (for Wilhelm I) and the year 1870 (in memory of the Franco-German War) and the text: "It should be the whole of Germany!"

Schwentine River in Plön

Highlight • River

The Schwentine River flows 200 meters through Plön. You can follow it on foot along its entire course, sometimes on one bank, sometimes on the other. Large willow trees caress the water with their delicate, hanging branches. The district town is an architectural demonstration of how a river can be vividly integrated into the landscape.

Plön Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Plön's Town Hall is centrally located on the Schlossberg hill.

The current town hall was built between 1816 and 1818 on the old market square according to plans by the renowned architect Christian Frederik Hansen. Previously, a 13th-century town hall building stood on this site, which the last Duke of Plön, Duke Friedrich Carl, had demolished and replaced with a new one in 1746.
The Goose Girl Fountain, made of shell limestone by Bernhard Butzke, dates from 1922. The Goose Girl is one of Plön's landmarks and was a gift to their hometown from the Müller brothers, who had become wealthy abroad.

We cross the pedestrian zone and stroll along the small houses and alleys to St. John's Church, a small, pretty half-timbered and brick church. On the east side there is a large gravestone with a remarkable history. It commemorates the "Black Trumpeter". The former slave from Central Africa rose to become the "court and field trumpeter" of Duke Hans Adolf after a Christian upbringing and baptism.
He was considered brave, clever and economically successful and even married the daughter of the Plön councilman Radeleff. It's hard to imagine what difficulties he must have had to overcome. Real material for Hollywood films!

St John's Church (Johanniskirche), Plön

Highlight • Religious Site

The baroque church building was built in the half-timbered style that was popular at the time.

With the half-timbered building erected by Duke Adolf in 1685, the new town got its own church. Threatened with demolition at the beginning of the 19th century, the church, originally in a simple baroque style, was remodeled in a neo-Gothic style a few decades later, but managed to retain its special atmosphere.

The gravestone of the "Black Trumpeter" is located on the site: Christian Gottlieb, a former slave from the African continent, was in the service of Duke Johann Adolph as a court and field trumpeter. The slave's rapid career and his marriage to the daughter of a Plön councilor caused quite a stir. According to popular tradition, the two fell in love when he saved her brother who had fallen through the ice. The Duke himself gave the couple his blessing.
