    The fortress was built in 1869-1879. It was supposed to protect the Prussians from hostile ships. There were no fights here.
    The pier was only built in 1926 as a loading ramp. At one time there was even a Hadag excursion restaurant - unfortunately dismantled in 1960.
    You can read the whole story on the website or visit the fortress from April to October ... Admission currently 2.00 EUR

    There are only two fortresses of this type between Hamburg and Cuxhaven. Interesting for adults and children. If you're lucky, you can take part in a guided tour. Then you go through the former living and service rooms of the well-preserved fortress. There is a café in the inner courtyard of the ring-shaped complex. Bring your time and go on a discovery tour. Here we experience history not from a book, but from the object! That's what makes it exciting.

    Not yet renovated, but absolutely worth seeing.
