Plau am See, Lake town in Ludwigslust-Parchim, Germany
Located in northeastern Germany, Plau am See extends along the western shore of Lake Plau at an elevation of 70 meters above sea level.
The settlement received its original name Plawe in 1235, derived from the Polabian term for a location where people practiced rafting activities.
The town center contains numerous timber-framed houses and brick buildings that represent the architectural styles from different periods of German construction.
The Müritz-Elde-Waterway passes through the town, providing access for boats and connecting the region to broader water transportation networks.
A vertically lifting bridge in the town allows water vessels to pass underneath while maintaining road connections for vehicles and pedestrians.
