Brodersby is a small village in Schwansen on the German Baltic coast, with a sandy beach at Ostseebad Schönhagen in the same municipality. Homes here sleep two to six and all have a garden. It is rural, so a town like Eckernförde, 25 km away by road, means a drive.
Brodersby (Schwansen) is the northernmost municipality in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde, with fewer than 700 residents spread over hamlets such as Dingelby, Drasberg and Nübbelfeld rather than one centre. The largest place in it is Ostseebad Schönhagen, where a sandy beach sits below a steep coast, and the Schwansener See lies to the south. The homes are scattered over a few kilometres around the village. All have a garden, none has a pool, and about half have a fireplace. Evenings are quiet, so for restaurants and shops plan on driving.
