The uninhabited German island of Gänsewerder is located in the Schaproder Bodden in the Baltic Sea , 400 meters east of the Gellen peninsula on Hiddensee . It belongs to the municipality of Insel Hiddensee and is part of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park . The island is not allowed to be entered.

The surface of the Gänsewerders is flat, sandy, moist and only covered with reeds and small plants. A small pond is in the northeast. The island has an oval shape, sloping from southwest to northeast, measuring about 328 by 155 meters, with an area of ​​four hectares.

At the time of the establishment of the national park, the Gänsewerder (like the Gellen ) was a coastal bird breeding area, but it is now extinct. The Hiddenseer Fährinsel , inhabited by some bird species , is administratively combined by the national park with the Gellen and the Gänsewerder.
