Enclosed cattle trough. Before the Wesselburener Kooges was diked in 1862, there was a wide foreland criss-crossed by creeks where livestock and sheep grazed. In order to have fresh water for the cattle and at the same time to protect them from storm surges until autumn, in 1819 the farmers of Norddeich built a diked cattle trough (ring trough) on the highest elevation, the "highest samphire", in the west of today's Kooge.
