History

1226 gave the sovereign Count Adolf IV the northern part of today's Plön district to the Benedictine monastery in Preetz. This area was called ado provost, as it was under the administration of the monastery provost. From 1245 to 1250 founded the abbot of the monastery Preetz, Friedrich Probst, the place Sconeberg know what it means " beautiful mountain ". Previously, there were probably Slavic settlers. A majority of the villagers worked in agriculture. Characteristic of the Probsteier farmers, however, was that these were free and not a serf; they only had duties to the monastery afford.

In defense of the place it was secured with a brushwood fence to the outside; There were two entrances: In the south the " Höhn villages gate" towards Preetz and in the east the " Stakendorfer gate" in the direction of field marks.

The first sacral building of the place was a St. George's Chapel (built 1220 ), located west of remote wiping. The chapel was destroyed due to a storm flood. The font of the chapel is now in the tower room of the Evangelical Church.

In 1600, the population was 350 to 400

On 10 February 1625 storm flood raged through the provost. This was devastating for the population, as there were no levees on the beach.

In the night of 2 August 3, 1779, a large part of the village burned down, as the Lutheran church (probably a wooden church ). The reconstruction could relatively quickly vonstattengehen thanks to generous donations of Barsbeker farmers, so that the still standing today baroque church was consecrated on September 22, 1782. Chief architect was the master builder in Kiel 's land, Johann Adam Richter, a student of Ernst Georg Sonnins. The Schönberger church is considered to be journeymen, the church in Kappeln as his masterpiece. What is striking is the similarity of the two churches to recognize, among others at similar facade. In thanks to the support of the peasants Barsbeker a perch was set ( as a sign Barsbeks ) on the spire instead of a weather cock.
