    At the beginning of the 17th century, the port was dug in its present form. For many decades, Tönning was one of the most important ports and trading centers on the North Sea. It was only with the construction of the Kiel Canal that Tönning's port lost its importance as an important transshipment point.

      The Tönninger Packhaus was built in 1783 - at the same time as the completion of the Eider Canal, which connected the North Sea with the Baltic Sea. At the time it was one of the largest storage buildings on the coast.
      The port of Tönning gained particular importance with the blockade of the Elbe by the British at the time of Napoleon. Since Tönning was in neutral Denmark at the time, many goods were handled via Tönning and then transported on overland.
      With the construction of the later Kiel Canal by Kaiser Wilhelm, Tönning lost its position as a trading port. Only the fishermen still docked in Tönning Hafen. With the construction of the Eider barrage in 1972, the fish and shrimp cutters were relocated to the port there.

        The picturesque harbor with the packing house and the pretty old town characterize Tönning. The town on the Eiderstedt peninsula is also known for the Multimar Wattforum adventure exhibition

                Since the port is located on the Prilstrom, its water level is heavily influenced by the tides of the North Sea.

                This gives the port very different views within hours.
