Our location Eutin
Eutin is located in Northern Germany (federal state Schleswig-Holstein), between Denmark, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. In the middle of numerous lakes, mixed forest and little hills (our region is also called „Holstein Switzerland“) you’ll find our small city (Population: 16.000) with an old and young cultural history.
Cultural history
First settlers came 950 AD, 1156 Eutin became a marketplace and 1257 the right to call itself a city. Still growing (a castle and churches were built), dukes and bishops lived in Eutin as well as famous artists like J.H. Voß (translator), J.H.W. Tischbein (painter) and C.M. v. Weber (composer), who was born here.
