The memorial "Diekskiel" commemorates the many generations of dike workers who made great efforts to secure the coasts (source: "Greetsiel" - a world famous village). A motto in earlier times was: "Well neet wants to dieken, de mutt wieken" (= Low German) = translated into High German: "Who does not want to build dykes, must leave the country"
