    Tips

    2 commemorative signs on the border post, which focus on the border between the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg and the Kingdom of Prussia. They are located on the access road to the Eckwarderhörne beach hall and on the crest of the dike. In memory of the so-called Prussia Corner, which was created in 1853 as a result of the Jade Treaty between Prussia and Oldenburg.
    Ultimately, the entrance to the Jade was to be protected, which is why Prussia also received a 2.24 hectare piece of Eckwarderhörne, on which a house with eight residents stood. This house was most recently used as a post office.
