Publication: Civitates Orbis Terrarum 1598

Plon is situated between Kiel and Lubeck in Schleswig-Holstein. Records show that about 1000 years ago a fort was built here by a Slavic cheiftain. In 1236, Plon was granted town rights under Lubeck law. Between 1561 and 1729 Plon was residence of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plon.
"...Georg Braun & Franz Hogenberg’s Civitates Orbis Terrarum, stands as one of the greatest monuments of late 16th and early 17th Century European cartography. Published in Cologne, Germany in a series of six volumes between 1572 and 1617/8, and, when finally completed, comprising nearly 550 City views and plans, the Civitates is also one of the most valuable sources for the study of Renaissance urban cartography.
