Köthel lies about 16 km northwest of Schwarzenbek and has a unique feature. The town is divided by the Bille River into a Lauenburg and a Stormarn section, each forming an independent municipality.
That's truly extraordinary! 😉
Köthel was first documented as "Cotle" in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register. Around 1238, a Cistercian nunnery was established in Köthel, which was relocated to the present-day town of Reinbek in 1240 as Reinbek Abbey. However, Köthel remained in the possession of the abbey until its dissolution during the Reformation in 1529.
