Heringsdorf

Heringsdorf has served as an agricultural settlement in eastern Schleswig-Holstein since medieval times. Set in the Wagrien countryside, the small municipality lies inland from the Baltic Sea, in the farming belt between Oldenburg in Holstein and the Fehmarn coast. Fields, hedgerows and gently rolling ground reflect a landscape shaped by the last Ice Age rather than a resort shoreline. The wider area has a deeper historical layer: nearby Oldenburg was the site of Starigard, an important early medieval Slavic stronghold, and its Wallmuseum interprets that past.
