Origin of The Name
The German name for the region, Holsteinische Schweiz, goes back to the 19th century when holidays to Switzerland were particularly popular amongst the well-to-do. As a consequence, other regions strove to add the name "Switzerland" to their description. On 20 May 1885 Johannes Janus opened the Hotel Holsteinische Schweiz at Malente on the Kellersee which enjoyed enormous popularity. The name of the hotel was then transferred to Holsteinische Schweiz station and, later, to the whole region.
