Brücke der Erinnerung

The Brücke der Erinnerung features a reconstructed ship stern and a permanent lantern that guides visitors toward the sea burial area between Spiekeroog and Wangerooge islands.

Established in 2016, this memorial serves as a commemoration site for families whose relatives received sea burials, marking the maritime traditions of Lower Saxony.

The memorial incorporates steel plaques where families can engrave names, dates, and burial coordinates of their deceased relatives, maintaining connections with maritime customs.

Visitors can access the memorial site to lay flowers, spend time on the bench, and obtain information about sea burial practices in the North Sea region.

The memorial aligns specifically with the sea burial zone between two islands, providing families a physical connection point to their loved ones' final resting places.
