    Tips

    July 2, 2024

    On June 1, 1927, Reich President Paul von Hindenburg steamed in a saloon car over the new, approximately eleven-kilometer-long dam from Klanxbüll to Sylt. A "large station" with a triumphal arch welcomed him in Westerland. The supposedly most beautiful North Sea island and the mainland were now connected. In the exuberance of the celebration, the idea came up to call the new railway line through the mudflats the Hindenburgdamm. This is what it is still called today, despite repeated discussions. Double-tracked throughout since 1972, it is now used by around 5,000 commuters every day and around 640,000 island guests every year.
