history
The place was created between 1953 and 1956, when a new port and sewer system was built north of the Friedrichsschleuse.
The draining of the Harle Bay had already started in 1930 . The project was stopped because of the Second World War . In 1952 the Harlebucht was already drained. In 1953 the Harlesieler Hafen and in 1957 the pumping station were built. In 1959, a campsite, a mini golf course , a children's playground and an outdoor seawater pool were built to promote tourism . In the 1960s, a bathing beach was also created, which has been expanded in area to the present day. In 1973 the Harle airfield was put into operation. In the following years the "Haus des Gastes" (today "Cliner Quelle") in Carolinensiel, the lido and many other commercial clubs were founded.
On August 16, 1972, Harlesiel was incorporated into the district town of Wittmund.
From 1890 to 1989, Harlesiel was the end point of the Jever – Harle railway line for the seaside resort traffic to Wangerooge.
