The pier was completed around 1909 and was used by old steamships to dock.

-Anyone who walks through Eckwarderhörne is sure to be amazed at the old walls sticking out of the North Sea. They are the remains of an old jetty. The pier was completed around 1909 and was used by old steamships to dock.

-Since the military gave instructions to use the ferry and the Butjenter Bahn when traveling from Wilhelmshaven to Bremerhaven, traffic naturally increased significantly. By the way, around 1910 the two steamers “Eckwarden” and “Dr. Ziegner-Gnüchtel” made seven double trips a day. At the end of the bridge there was a movable bridge section with a pontoon so that the water levels could be equalized.

-The rising water levels caused increasing difficulties

that the passengers could go ashore. A loop was converted into a jetty (SOURCE: willkommen.butjadingen.de)

The old ferry dock, along with the lighthouse, is the most attractive photo subject. Seagulls occasionally nest there.

The old ferry dock is really impressive. Especially how his face changes with the ebb and flow.
