    Anton Hullmann - a man like a dike
    Henning Bielefeld
    In 1956 the dike at Waddensersiel was raised - in time and sufficient for the great storm surge.


    In 1955, forward-looking coastal protection began. Anton Hullmann drove him forward.

    To call Captain Anton Hullmann's corpulence “baroque” would be a shameless understatement. The man weighed almost four hundred pounds. But after the great storm surge of February 1962, most of the coastal residents would have preferred to weigh him in gold, because they saw him as the “savior of the Wesermarsch”.

    Monument in honor of a former captain who did a lot here in coastal protection to raise dikes to protect against storm surges.
