The town hall of Plau am See - history and architecture
The Plau am See town hall is one of the best-known landmarks of the town on Lake Plau, in the middle of the Mecklenburg Lake District. The current building was erected in 1888/89 by the government architect Dreyer in the Dutch Renaissance style and still characterizes the townscape of Plau am See today. A council was first mentioned as early as 1255, and the first documented mention of a town hall can be found in 1455 - a testimony to the town's long history, which is also known to Hanseatic towns such as Wismar, Rostock and Stralsund on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Town fires and reconstruction of the town hall in Plau
The history of the town hall is closely linked to the town's misfortunes: In 1455, 1553, 1791 and 1888, the respective predecessor buildings fell victim to town fires. A fire also damaged the roof truss of the current building in 1985. Since then, the town hall has been gradually restored - in 1999, the bell of the tower clock was restored and in 2006/2007, extensive renovations were carried out, including the heating, windows and room layout being renewed and an elevator being installed.
Plau am See town hall in the fall - wild vines and green facadeThe town hall is particularly worth seeing in the fall, when the wild vines bathe the façade in bright red and orange. The leafy building then develops a very special atmosphere that attracts visitors from all over the region - whether on their way to the Baltic Sea, Fischland-Darß-Zingst or from a trip to the Mecklenburg lake district.
Barrier-free access to Plau am See town hall
The town hall is barrier-free. An elevator for wheelchair users is available; the corresponding entrance is located at the rear of the building.

Castle tower Plau am See
● Plau am See
The castle tower in Plau was built in 1448/49 and is still completely preserved. The 3 m thick walls and the 11 m deep dungeon, as well as the tower ascent, amaze locals and guests alike when they visit. The historic castle tower in Plau am See is the remaining part of a fortification that was built in 1449 to stop the raids of Brandenburg knights. During the Thirty Years' War, it offered protection against sieges and raids by the Swedes and Saxons. At the end of the war, the decision was made to "grind down" the fortifications, which meant dismantling them. Only the castle tower was spared this fate. Until 1985, the tower was not used and was open to everyone, which was particularly pleasing for the children of Plau, who had great adventures. In 2000, the Museum Friends of Plau am See also set themselves the task of renovating the tower and making it attractive for visitors.
