The Fasaneninsel is one of the two islands in the south of the Großer Eutiner See (town of Eutin in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein ). The island is about 150 × 200 meters and has an area of about 2.1 hectares.
From the 9th century on, the Pheasant Island was the location of a Wendish castle - which was named " Utin " - and was the center of the Gau of the same name . The castle was connected to the bank by a bridge.
The castle was destroyed during the conquest of Wagrien in 1138/39 by the Holsten - the subsequent settlement was built on the bank and developed into today's town of Eutin.
The Pheasant Island is one of the destinations of the visual axes of the (former) baroque garden of the Eutin Castle .
The name "Pheasant Island" is derived from a former pheasantry there.
The island is privately owned but is no longer inhabited. It was foreclosed in April 2014 in proceedings before the Eutin District Court and placed in a private foundation run in trust by the Schleswig-Holstein Nature Conservation Foundation . It should actually be made available to the public afterwards. In 2016, it was planned to include the island in the state horticultural show that took place in Eutin that year. However, the project was not implemented due to ongoing legal disputes. Another sales process in which the city of Eutin would like to exercise a right of first refusal is pending in May 2020.
