Arnis

Arnis lies along the Schlei, a narrow inlet of the Baltic Sea, on a slender peninsula between the water and the wider Angeln countryside. With fewer than 300 residents, it is known as Germany’s smallest town by population, though its compact streets and waterfront plots speak to a long maritime tradition. The settlement was founded in 1667 by 65 families from nearby Kappeln. Arnis’s Schifferkirche, or Mariners’ Church, and its harbour recall the close connection between local life, sailing and boatbuilding. Sheltered Schlei waters give the town a distinctly coastal character within inland Schleswig-Holstein.
