Greetsiel is a beautiful town with many small shops that invite you to browse and shop. There is also a selection of coffees and localities to strengthen yourself. The harbor is particularly worth seeing, although it is quite small. There is always something going on and to see here. ⛵

The Greetsiel twin mills are the landmark of Greetsiel in East Friesland.
There are two Dutch windmills, which are about 130 meters apart at the entrance to the village, east of the old Greetsieler Sieltief. The green mill dates from 1856, the red mill was built in 1706 and can be visited. It was restored in 1921 with old parts and the cap from the Aurich Wallmühle built in 1750.

The port of Greetsiel is home to the largest cutter fleet in East Frisia. At the 30 cutters have moored here sometimes. Mussel catcher, excursion steamer, Dutch Tjalken and a sailboat harbor complete the picture. The harbor itself is tidal independent. Through a lock on the Leyhörn, which was completed in the early 1990s, the tide and tide have lost their influence. In the past, ships coming from inland used the passage of passage to reach the open sea from here. From Greetsiel there was a busy operation to the islands.
From the time of Cirksenas Castle, which was demolished in 1777 under the administration of Prussia, there are hardly any memories of stone. After Ostfriesland had fallen to the Prussians, the village changed significantly. Under the Prussian administration, the Siel was built in 1798 in the town center, whereupon the eagle points over the Sieltor.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the port developed more and more from commercial to fishing port.

Fishing area before and after the First World War was Leybucht, which was not yet diked. While in former times the fish were caught there in gillnets and with sailing boats, today modern cutters go as far as Schleswig-Holstein and fish in front of Sylt and Amrum. Often the fishermen stay at sea for days. Sometimes fished into December, as long as the weather permits.
