Langenwerder is a small, uninhabited and protected standing island. It is located near the island of Poel north of Gollwitz, a district of the municipality of Insel Poel . It is separated from the island by the shallow hollow . The Gollwitz Bay separates it from the Boiensdorfer Werder peninsula on the mainland . The Langenwerder was created as part of the Littorina transgression several thousand years ago as a beach wall , which is still actively formed today in the context of coastal compensation processes.

The only buildings on the island are the bird keeper station, which was built in 1935/36 and is located on the northwest coast of the island.
