The coastal protection camp Elisabethgrodendeich is an information facility for coastal protection on the Frisian North Sea coast and is located on the Elisabethgrodendeich north of the village of Friederikensiel.
The centerpiece of the coastal protection camp is a ten-meter-high vantage point, which allows a wide view over the Elisabethgroden, the Elisabethexternal groden and the Wadden Sea to the island of Wangerooge.
Display boards explain the dike construction and coastal protection in the former Harlebucht.

History

The coastal protection camp was inaugurated on September 7, 2018. It is the visible end of the approximately 20-year construction period to raise and strengthen the Elisabethgroden dike. For this, the dike had to be raised to a length of twelve kilometers. The original dike line had an average undercut of around one meter. In addition, the dike profile was no longer up to date, the embankments were too steep and the clay soil used was inadequate. Planning to raise and strengthen the dike began in 1995, and construction began in 1998. The project was commissioned by the III. Oldenburg Dike Band. During the construction period, the coastal protection camp served as a construction camp, the headquarters of the construction management and as a material storage facility.

The site of the coastal protection camp was used from 1964 to 1989 as a fire control station (IFC) of the Air Defense Missile Battalion 26 (FlaRakBtl 26). The observation hill was built on the site of the battalion's original elevated radar position.
