Ratzeburg has served as a cathedral town in Schleswig-Holstein since the 12th century. Its historic centre occupies an island between four lakes, with Ratzeburger See forming its broad eastern shore amid the wooded Lauenburg Lakes district. Ratzeburg Cathedral, founded after the bishopric was re-established in 1154, ranks among northern Germany’s significant Romanesque brick churches. The town is also associated with sculptor Ernst Barlach, whose work is represented at the Ernst Barlach Museum.
