Schönberg (German pronunciation: [ˈʃøːnbɛʁk] ⓘ) is a municipality in the district of Plön, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is situated on the Ostsee coast, approx. 17 km northeast of the state capital Kiel, and 26 km north of Plön. The formerly unincorporated town became a part of the Probstei district on January 1, 2008, which already had its seat in Schönberg.
Schönberg, Neuschönberg, Schönberger Strand, Brasilien (meaning 'Brazil'), Kalifornien (meaning 'California') and Holm lie in the municipality. The names Brasilien and Kalifornien go back to the traditional names of the beaches. The name Kalifornien arose because of a piece of a ship which washed up on the shore, bearing the name.
