Neuwerk

Neuwerk is a district in the Hamburg-Mitte district of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . Neuwerk forms an exclave of the rest of Hamburg's national territory, around 100 kilometers away. The district includes the inhabited and eponymous main island of Neuwerk and the uninhabited islands of Nigehörn and Scharhörn . In a broader sense, some of the only temporarily dry sandbanks in the Hamburg Wadden Sea National Park are part of the district.

geography

The three islands Neuwerk, Nigehörn and Scharhörn are located in the southeastern part of the North Sea and in the southwestern part of the Elbe estuary . The next larger city on the mainland is Cuxhaven in Lower Saxony, around 15 kilometers south . The center of Hamburg is around 100 kilometers up the Elbe. Neuwerk is an exclave of the Hamburg state area, since land and water routes from the Hamburg heartland to Neuwerk only run through Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein .

The land area of ​​7.6 km² is spread over 3.6 km² on the island of Neuwerk and 4.1 km² on the Scharhörnplate, these are located in the middle of the Hamburg Wadden Sea National Park. The Hamburg exclave is assigned a share of the territorial sea of ​​around 230 km² - largely tidal flats and parts of the Outer Elbe . With its southeastern tip, this "Hamburg sector" touches the mainland with an area about the size of a football field.

Neuwerk has been part of Hamburg for over 700 years - with a short interruption. With the completion of the "work" (tower) this was the official seat of a delegated councilor ("captain"). As a result of a feud with the Lappes , the Hamburg office of Ritzebüttel was established on the adjoining mainland in 1394 . Neuwerk was assigned to this office and the tower was then only the official seat of a Voigt. In 1864 the office became the Ritzebüttel estate . On November 19, 1926, this became part of the Hamburg rulership . After Cuxhaven became a town in 1907, Neuwerk also became a district of Cuxhaven on March 1, 1935. As a result of the Greater Hamburg Act , Cuxhaven and Neuwerk came to Prussia on April 1, 1937 and subsequently to Lower Saxony.

With the Cuxhaven Treaty , the islands of Neuwerk and Scharhörn were reintegrated into Hamburg in 1969. The background to this contract was to secure a location for a deep-water port for Hamburg, which has not yet been implemented. In the implementation agreement for the Cuxhaven Treaty, the location of the planned mainland connection of the port facilities in the Hamburg exclave was determined. This established a 200 m long stretch of the then coastline around point X to connect to the Lower Saxony mainland. The course of the thus defined Hamburg state border includes an area of ​​around 6000 m², which today is geographically part of the mainland due to land growth .
