The Hindenburg Dam is an impressive structure that connects the North Frisian island of Sylt with the mainland of Schleswig-Holstein. The 11-kilometer-long dam, which serves exclusively for rail traffic, was opened on June 1, 1927 and named after the then President of the Reich, Paul von Hindenburg, although the name only became popular after the fact. Construction began in 1923 and took four years, using over 3 million cubic meters of sand and clay and 120,000 tons of stone to build the dam and protect it from the tides.
