    Köthel (Low German: Keuthel) was first documented as "Cotle" in 1230 in the Ratzeburg Tithe Register. Around 1238, a Cistercian nunnery was established at Köthel, which was relocated to the present-day town of Reinbek in 1240 as Reinbek Monastery. However, Köthel remained in the possession of the monastery until the monastery was dissolved during the Reformation in 1529. The part of the town north of the Bille River became part of the Amt of Reinbek,
    the southern part to the Duke of Lauenburg.
    Köthel is located about 16 km northwest of Schwarzenbek and is a very small municipality in terms of area, ranking 62nd in the list of the smallest municipalities in Germany. The town is divided by the Bille River into a Lauenburg and a Stormarn part, each of which forms an independent municipality.
    The silver coat of arms depicts a blue diagonal wavy bar, accompanied at the top by a green beech tree, and below by a gabled red chapel with three Gothic windows and a steep gable roof, surmounted by a bell-bearing turret.
