Arnis is the smallest city in Germany in terms of population (just under 300) and also in terms of area (0.45 square kilometers). The city was founded in 1667 when 65 families from Kappeln moved to the then uninhabited island in the Schlei to protest against serfdom.
The cityscape has hardly changed for many decades, which is why the city has retained the charm of its heyday in the 19th century.
