    A place of remembrance for all those who lost their lives at sea and were never found. But unknown people who have lost their lives at sea and are washed ashore are also buried here.

    This cemetery on the dune has probably existed since the mid-19th century. A place of rest with memorial stones and a donated peace bell.

    The bell came after World War II as a commemorative gift to the island after Helgoland on March 1st. Released again by the English in 1952. The inscriptions on the bell read:

    MARCH 1, 1952

    LE WEUL BOCKENEM AM HARZ

    FOUNDED AND POURED ME FOR THE

    RECONSTRUCTION OF THE GERMAN ISLAND

    HELGOLAND



    GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO

    THE SEA MAY ROLL ANGRY

    MAY THE ROCK FALL

    THE MERCY OF GOD DOES NOT WALK

    THAT REMAINS MY CONFIDENCE
