Bosau was already settled in pre-Christian times. The place name Bosau is derived from the Wendish term Bozowe, which probably contains a personal name. On the opposite peninsula Bischofswarder, which was much larger at the time due to the lower water level, there was a Slavic ring castle in the 8th/9th century.[4] Around the year 980, Buzu is mentioned as a farm owned by the Bishopric of Oldenburg. The bishopric was destroyed in connection with the Slavic uprising of 983. When Vizelin, the bishop of the Bishopric of Oldenburg, which was re-established in 1149, used Bosau as a base for his mission, the farm mentioned around 980 was probably no longer there, because Vizelin had a quae dicitur on the insula[]

Around 1570, Duke Johann of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg had Lake Plön dammed. This changed the landscape: Bosau became a peninsula. In 1881/82, the water level was lowered again. As a result, part of the former Slavic settlement area reappeared.[7]

In 1939, the Hellmuth Walter KG company from Kiel acquired land on Lake Plön and set up its factory test site in Stadtbek. Torpedoes and the slotted tube sling were tested here. The latter was a chemical steam sling that was used until the end of the war. The Fi 103 flying bomb, later called Vergeltungswaffe 1 or V1, was hurled into the air by the Walter slotted tube sling (catapult) using a steam piston at a speed of 350 km/h. The piston was released and the Fi 103 continued to fly with its own pulse drive. Buildings of the test site, built on piles in the lake, were blown up by the Allies after the war.
