Digital Painting Collage from sea chart and island view in watercolor style. © Dirk h. Wendt
Helgoland, also called Deät Lun (Helgoland Frisian "The Land", English Heligoland), is a North Sea island in the German Bight. The originally larger island broke up in 1721; since then the side island known as Düne has existed. The island group of Heligoland and Düne has been part of the German territory since 1890 and is now integrated into the district of Pinneberg (Schleswig-Holstein) as an independent municipality of Heligoland. The main island is divided according to the relief into the Oberland, Mittelland and Unterland. It has a small sandy beach in the south next to the landing stage and drops in the north, west and southwest in steep cliffs a good 50 metres to the sea, which is up to 56 metres deep in the south-western Helgoland basin. The beach in the north is not suitable for swimming due to the strong current. At the north-western end of the main island there is the most famous landmark of Helgoland - the rock needle Lange Anna. The whole surface of the uplands was formed by the blasting of the bunker complex in 1947 and the subsequent bombing.
