Rendsburg, Port town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Rendsburg stands at the intersection of the Kiel Canal and Eider River, featuring a network of waterways that connect the North Sea to the Baltic Sea.
Founded in 1199, Rendsburg transformed from a Danish-controlled fortress into a German municipality after the German-Danish War of 1864.
The town preserves medieval structures, including St. Mary's Church from 1287 and the Renaissance town hall from 1566, reflecting its architectural evolution through centuries.
The central railway station connects to major German cities, while the Kiel Canal allows commercial vessels to access the inland port facilities.
The Rendsburg High Bridge spans 2,500 meters across the Kiel Canal, incorporating a suspended transporter platform for vehicles and pedestrians beneath the railway tracks.

Schleswig-Holstein combines historic structures with varied natural landscapes between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The region encompasses castles such as Glücksburg and Plön, medieval monasteries including Cismar and Nütschau, and museums spanning from Viking times to maritime history. Visitors find the Hedeby Viking Museum, Gottorf Castle in Schleswig, and the historic Ratzeburg Cathedral. The natural areas extend from beaches at Pelzerhaken and Rosenfelder Strand to the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park and moorland at Kaltenhofer Moor. The Geltinger Birk Nature Reserve and wildlife parks at Eekholt and Arche Warder display native flora and fauna. The Kiel Canal, lighthouses at Westerhever and Amrum, and the Multimar Wattforum in Tönning document the importance of the coastal region.
