history
Originally the place was called Westerkating with a small port and it contributed to the supply of the Eiderstedt peninsula. The small town was outside Napoleon's sphere of influence during the continental blockade . A Höker , two restaurants and a customs building reflected its economic importance at the time in the 19th century. With the construction of the railway line on Eiderstedt , the port lost its importance. The last merchant ship docked there in 1906. There was a connection between northern and southern boat trips, so that Katingsiel was also connected to Tönning and Tetenbüll . The connection channel no longer exists and cannot be located.
