Pellworm, Coastal spa municipality in Nordfriesland district, Germany.
Pellworm is a small island in the Wadden Sea National Park off the Schleswig-Holstein coast. The flat landscape features dikes, farmland, and scattered buildings sitting just meters above sea level.
The island developed through repeated land reclamation and has been protected by dikes since medieval times against storm surges. These defenses allowed people to settle and farm here over centuries.
Islanders maintain strong ties to the sea and farming that show in daily life and local routines. These connections appear in how people move through the landscape and keep traditional crafts alive.
You reach the island by regular ferry service from the mainland. Lodging options including guesthouses and campgrounds are scattered across the island.
The lighthouse here hosts traditional captain's weddings, blending maritime heritage with modern celebration. This unexpected use gives the place a distinct role in regional wedding customs.
