With 25 crab-cutters, who regularly drive to the romantic harbor of Greetsiel, here is the largest cutter fleet in Ostfriesland. In addition to the main catch, the crabs, which are actually called garnet, are also landed in small quantities and flatfish such as plaice, coarse and sole. The historic harbor is over 600 years old.
Here you breathe history and seafaring romance in a unique environment of charming historic gabled houses and idyllic lanes. And: you enjoy pure sea air!
Since 1991, there is the lock Leysiel, which separates the fishing port and the marina from the open North Sea. Up to eight cutters can be passed through here at the same time. Thus Greetsieler Hafen is tide independent, high and low tide "stay outside". The old Sieltor is over 200 years old and a popular meeting place for Greetsiel guests. Here the Greetsieler Sieltief flows.

The more than 600-year-old harbor is Greetsiel's center and the berth for around 25 shrimp boats, the second largest shrimp fishing fleet on the German North Sea coast after Büsum. Since 1991, the Leysiel lock has separated the fishing port from the open North Sea, meaning ships can enter and leave regardless of the tide.

Cozy little coastal town that can burst in the summer but from all Nählen!
