One of the most famous sights in Schleswig-Holstein is the Eider Barrier. The largest protective structure on the German coast was inaugurated in March 1973 and is intended to protect against masses of water flowing into the Eider during storm surges.
The reason for the construction was the severe storm surge of 1962, which even severely affected Hamburg, about 100 kilometers from the coast. The trigger was a severe hurricane that hit the German North Sea coast in February 1962 and pushed large amounts of water into the rivers.
