Wangerooge, Coastal spa municipality in East Frisian Islands, Germany.
Wangerooge stretches across 7.94 square kilometers of North Sea territory as the easternmost inhabited island of the East Frisian archipelago.
The municipality belonged to the Grand Duchy and Free State of Oldenburg from 1815 to 1947, unlike other islands under Ostfriesland administration.
The annual beach volleyball tournament in August brings together participants and spectators for competitive matches on the North Sea shore.
Narrow gauge railways connect the harbor to the main village, while ferries from Harlesiel operate according to daily tide schedules.
The Western Tower from 1597 moved from its original eastern location due to natural sand movements before coastal defenses were constructed.
