The “White House” in Cismar

Cismar is a place with about 800 inhabitants in the municipality of Grömitz in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein .

history

The core of the place is a former Benedictine monastery , the Cismar monastery , which was moved from Lübeck to Cismar in 1245 . In the course of secularization, the monastery was abolished and converted into the Amtshof of the Office of Cismar .

From 1865 to 1921 Cismar was the administrative seat of the Oldenburg district in Holstein .

Cismar Monastery has been part of the Schleswig-Holstein State Museums Foundation Gottorf Castle since 1999 . Since then, art exhibitions of supraregional importance have been held in the exhibition rooms of the monastery, and concerts by the Förderkreis Kloster Cismar e. V. Every second weekend in August, this association organizes the Cismar Monastery Festival, a craft market.

As a nature museum, the Haus der Natur Cismar shows the largest exhibition of snails and mussels in Germany.

Readings are held in the “White House”, the home of the writer Doris Runge .

Cismar is also the central location for the detectives of Cismar , a children's crime series by Simone Klages .

Since 1956 a small newspaper has been published as the village chronicle , the Cismarer Bote , in which the events in the village are sent three times a year as a letter to the "Buten-Cismaraner" Hein.

Jan Kollwitz , Käthe Kollwitz's great-grandson, has been running a ceramics workshop in the village since 1988 .
