Langlütjen (formerly: Langlütjensand) is the name of the two mudflat islands Langlütjen I and Langlütjen II, which were artificially created in the 19th century in the Weser estuary.
The islands are located in the district of Blexen in the Lower Saxon town of Nordenham on the Lower Weser. On them are the remains of first Prussian and later Imperial naval forts, whose task was to protect the ports of Bremen.
In 1933 Langlütjen II was a protective custody camp for the SA for a while.
Langlütjen is also the name of a beacon (upper and lower lights as beacons) as a navigation mark in the Weser estuary.
Position
The two islands with an area of 16,000 and 17,000 m² are 2 km apart in the Langlütjensand mudflat area near the Weser estuary, which dries up at low tide.
The Weser fairway runs about 1 km east of them.
The islands can be reached on foot through the mudflats at low tide and by boat at high tide. A dam leads to Langlütjen I from the mainland.
The islands lie opposite the city of Bremerhaven.
They are located in the Nordenham district of Blexen in the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park.
Within the national park, Langlütjen I belongs to protection zone I (quiet zone), Langlütjen II to protection zone II.

Very bad path to the island and the radar tower in places. (Push the bike in places)
Didn't see any prohibition signs or information signs. (And wasn't alone on the island either)
But there was a fantastic view towards the cruise terminal.
