'''Molfsee''' is a municipality in the district of [Rendsburg-Eckernförde](/source/Rendsburg-Eckernf%C3%B6rde), in [Schleswig-Holstein](/source/Schleswig-Holstein), [Germany](/source/Germany). It is situated on the river [Eider](/source/Eider_River), approx. 1 km southwest of [Kiel](/source/Kiel).

Molfsee was the seat of the former ''[Amt](/source/Amt_(subnational_entity))'' ("collective municipality") [Molfsee](/source/Molfsee_(Amt)).

In popular culture, Molfsee is also a song by [electro](/source/Electro_(music))-artist [Ulrich Schnauss](/source/Ulrich_Schnauss), along with [Blumenthal](/source/Blumenthal%2C_Schleswig-Holstein).

Molfsee is known for its huge Open Air Museum called "Schleswig-Holsteinisches Freilichtmuseum" which opened in 1965. Over 70 regional historical houses can be visited. There are some attractions like a heritage railway and historical employed persons, for example smiths, basketmakers, potters and weavers. During the year there are special market places.

Protests that started in Molfsee in 2008 lead to Germany not being widely photographed on [Google Street View](/source/Google_Street_View) until 2023.<ref>{{Citation |title=How a small German Village killed Google Street View |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSlDT7WpIj8 |access-date=2023-07-22 |language=en}}</ref>
