One of three pumping stations on the island of Föhr. Water continuously collects on the marsh during rainfall, which is drained off again by the powerful pumps of the works.
Without drainage, the Föhrer Marsch would be completely under water within a winter half year 😬! In other words: You would need two trucks 🚛 each with a capacity of 20 cubic meters, which leave the island every minute - day and night to get the amount of water off the island.
