Geography

Friedrichskoog lies in the march Süder Dithmarschens. The land, which was dammed in the 19th and 20th century, is exceedingly fertile. In the Elbe estuary, it developed from natural land reclamation, until the emergence of Dieksander holm - then today has led to extensive salt marshes off the coast to the emergence of Dieksanderkoogs and - today Friedrichskoog.

The salt marshes between the harbor and Trischendamm 2001 were a total of 485 hectares and up to 1.2 km wide. Approximately half of the area is intensively grazed, the other half for conservation reasons. Approximately 40 ha are used as jetting to accommodate silt, which is dredged from the harbor. Since conservation measures, the number of vegetation types from 5 took 17 to dominant typical for intensively used grassland societies like the Andel lawn has fallen from 53% to 13%, for the first time showed grazing sensitive plant communities such as beach couch grass hallway or salt Sign hallway. The 2001 most widespread vegetation type was the cordgrass - hall, which occupied a quarter of the area. In the sea side connection to the salt marshes and on the opposite side of the harbor Trischendammes the Watts area of ​​Central Plate is up to 12 km sea -side expansion.

Culture and sights

In the list of cultural monuments in Friedrichskoog are registered in the list of monuments of Schleswig- Holstein cultural monuments.

Since 1985 is in the Friedrichskoog Friedrichskoog Seal Station. It is the only authorized body for the rearing of howlers on the Schleswig -Holstein North Sea coast. Their appearance was many television viewers through the TV series Hi Robbie! known to have been shot by the great parts in the station.

At the "top" is the built in 1935/36 Trischendamm. During the season various events to entertain the guests are held, usually in or near the "House of the spa guest " in the district top.

2008, a 2,500 sq ft of indoor play park was built in the architecturally interesting shape of a whale in the harbor.

Economy

Probably the most important industry in Friedrichskoog is tourism. Although Friedrichskoog has no sandy beach - neither natural nor artificial - and can offer its guests only the dike, but the dike is immediately adjacent to the Wadden Sea and allows extensive mudflats. As part of the promotion of tourism in the area has been "top" massively expanded in several stages since the late 1970s, with the date last major action was started in 2007. Since 2004, the district Friedrichskoog is recognized as the North Sea spa; there is also a large health clinic, which specializes in joint visits with children.

Port

Friedrichskoog has the port on the west coast of Schleswig- Holstein with the most registered shrimp boats, is to Büsum and Husum but the least important fishing port of Schleswig -Holstein North Sea coast. Here is held annually a cutter regatta, which has a high tourism value.

The hydromorphological conditions at lying in the Elbe estuary deep depth lead to severe silting. Their removal ( dredging ) was far from state funds. The total maintenance cost of the port now totals up to 850,000 euros. This is offset by the revenues from the Port Authority of around 75,000 Euro.Andererseits is the port used less and less: in 2000 Friedrichskoog had around 900 calls by shrimp trawlers in 2013 there were only 104 were just 52 t crabs landed (for comparison: Büsum be more than 4000 tonnes transshipped ) annually. At the state level was therefore decided not to manage the port, but reshape it to " Port Experience " in Dithmarschen, only subject whose annual cost of 275,000 euros.

Oil recovery

Before Friedrichskoog in the National Park Schleswig -Holstein Wadden Sea is the largest German oil field, the center plate. Is funded from an artificial island in the Wadden and since 2000 also of Friedrichskoog. Since 2005, a pipeline from the oil rig to the conveyor operating in Holstein Friedrichskoog in operation. There is carried out the separation of the oil from the other constituents (especially water ), and a separation of the oil gas. The prepared products are pumped through a conduit to Brunsbüttel where partial processing, in part, a redirect to the Heide refinery in Hemmingstedt done.

Wind power

In the eastern part of Friedrichskoog 2010 there were more than 50 wind turbines to generate electricity that were installed primarily with a capacity of 500 to 600 kW and rotor diameters of 40 m in the middle of the 1990s. Increasingly, these are replaced by larger, more powerful equipment ( repowering ), which reduces the number.

Traffic

Friedrichskoog is best reached by car via the B 5, you must either leave in Marne or a little further north. The rail mode is set in the mid- 1970s, the tracks have now been completely dismantled.
