The small width ( Danish Lille Bredning ) describes the section of the inner loop between the only 280 m wide Stexwiger Enge and the western end of the loop near the city of Schleswig in northern Schleswig-Holstein (southern Schleswig). The small width has an area of ​​8 km² and is up to 2.1 km wide. Behind the Stexwiger Enge and the Reesholm peninsula (also Palör , in Danish Palør ), the Kleine Breite merges into the Große Breite (Danish Store Bredning ), which extends to Missunde .

The name of both latitudes comes from the Danish, where Bredning describes a widening of an otherwise narrow fjord or an otherwise narrow river. Presumably, the current name of the loop originally only referred to the inner loop with the two widths, the loop itself was probably associated with the name fishing.

Kleine Breite is surrounded by the city of Schleswig with its districts Friedrichsberg , Gottorf , Lollfuß , Holm and Freiheit as well as the towns of Klensby , Busdorf with the former Viking settlement of Haithabu and Fahrdorf . All communities on the Kleine Breite are part of the Schleswig-Flensburg district . The northern places and districts are on the fishing peninsula . The Haddebyer and, in its extension, the Selker Noor , the Gottorfer Burgsee and, over the Mühlenbach, the Holmer Noor , go from the Kleine Breite . The Busdorfer pond also formerly had access to the Schlei. At Winning, the Füsinger Au flows into the Kleine Breite. In front of the city of Schleswig is the protected seagull island . Compared to other sections of the Schlei, the fjord has the lowest salinity in the Kleiner Breite , this is only 0.8–0.4% off Schleswig compared to 1.8% at Schleimünde (Danish Sliminde ).
