Originating from a Slavic settlement of fishermen and raftsmen, the town was first mentioned in a document in 1235 as "Plawe". The small town forms a gateway to the Müritz-Elde waterway. One of the most famous buildings is the historic lifting bridge from 1916, which is raised daily to allow boats to pass through. The town center is also home to the lock bridge over the Elde lock from the 19th century, known as the "chicken ladder".
