Jester, buffoon and critical zeitgeist - Throughout his life, the legendary figure Till Eulenspiegel held up a mirror to society. He is said to have died in 1350 in the Heilig-Geist-Hospital in Mölln. And the town keeps his memory alive. Ideal starting point for a walk through Mölln is the market square. Situated in the middle of the historic old town, you'll find the most important sights here in close proximity to each other: the Gothic town hall, St. Nicolai's Church, the Eulenspiegel fountain and memorial stone, and the museum. But also otherwise a walk through the alleys of the city in the southeast of Schleswig-Holstein is worthwhile. Well-preserved half-timbered houses, lovingly designed museums and a 40,000 m² spa park in the center await you. And then, of course, there's Till Eulenspiegel - the jester's face is emblazoned on storefronts, and he's available in baked goods and marzipan versions. He can be seen on puzzles and key chains, decorates picture books and smiles at you from the gables of some houses.
