Sönke-Nissen-Koog, Protected marshland area in Reußenköge, Germany.

The Sönke-Nissen-Koog covers 1,200 hectares of reclaimed land protected by dikes, forming part of the North Frisian marsh landscape in Schleswig-Holstein.

Between 1924 and 1926, private farmers established this koog through a dike construction cooperative, naming it after Sönke Nissen, a North Frisian railway engineer.

The settlement pattern consists of scattered individual farmhouses characterized by white exterior walls and green roofs, reflecting the regional architectural traditions.

The L11 regional road connects the area to Altendeich and Bredstedt, while strict building regulations limit new construction to privileged agricultural projects.

The area shifted from primarily livestock farming to grain cultivation over time, with the foreland belonging to the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park.
