The Little Kiel is a shallow inland body of water in the state capital of Kiel, divided into two parts by a bridge. Due to its connection to the Kiel Fjord, the Little Kiel is brackish water.

Until 1846, the Little Kiel, with today's Kiel Boat Harbor, formed a continuous branch of the Kiel Fjord. The city of Kiel at that time, today's Old Town, thus stood on a peninsula. To the north, between the Kiel Fjord and the Little Kiel, there was a swampy lowland, where a castle, today's Kiel Castle, secured access.

Very nice oasis of peace in the otherwise very hectic city of Kiel.
