New asphalt from the intersection in Grebin (near Hobü) to the turnoff to Görnitz.

We cross the pedestrian zone and stroll along the small houses and alleys to St. John's Church, a small, pretty half-timbered and brick church. On the east side there is a large gravestone with a remarkable history. It commemorates the "Black Trumpeter". The former slave from Central Africa rose to become the "court and field trumpeter" of Duke Hans Adolf after being raised as a Christian and baptized. He was considered brave, clever and economically successful and even married the daughter of the Plön councilor Radeleff. It's hard to imagine the difficulties he must have had to overcome. A real Hollywood film! We are lucky and can even visit the interior of the pretty and unusual church. The pulpit altar with organ is the first thing we notice and the golden candlesticks on the left and right give the interior a special shine.

The castle was built during the Thirty Years' War between 1633 and 1636 by Duke Joachim Ernst of Plön. During the Nazi era, it served as the National Political Education Institute (NAPOLA). The state government sold the property to the non-profit Fielmann Academy, which undertook extensive renovations of the castle. Since then, it has served as a training center for Fielmann opticians, among others. Guided tours include the chapel, the Knights' Hall, and the ducal apartments. The castle is also used for the classical concert series "Castle Concerts."

Worth seeing half-timbered church at the end of the pedestrian zone.

The small church was built especially for the servants and craftsmen at the duke's court. At that time the area around the church was also the cemetery of the Plöner Neustadt. Only a few tombstones can be found here, but one of them is a small celebrity - that of the "Black Trumpeter". Not only was he the first to be buried in the church, but the career of the former slave Christian Gottlieb was unusual for the time. He had risen to become the duke's court trumpeter and fell in love with the councilman's daughter. The marriage with her was approved by the duke himself.
