Kappeln (Danish Kappel) is a town in the landscape Angeln in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg in Schleswig-Holstein (Germany). The town is situated on the Schlei and since the incorporation of the village of Olpenitz it also borders the Baltic Sea. Kappeln has always been a local trading and fishing town. Until June 2006 it was a garrison town due to the stationing of naval units at the Olpenitz base. In addition to a small harbour operation, Kappeln has several marinas and a number of businesses which serve to supply and maintain the pleasure boats. Kappeln has a central location function for eastern fishing and northern swan fishing.
The Schlei is a narrow inlet of the Baltic Sea in Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. It stretches for approximately 20 miles from the Baltic near Kappeln and Arnis to the city of Schleswig. Along the Schlei are many small bays and swamps. It separates the fishing peninsular to the north from the Swan peninsula to the south.
The important Viking settlement of Hedeby was located at the head of the firth (fjord), but was later abandoned in favor of the city of Schleswig. A museum has been built on the site, telling the story of the abandoned town.
