The Lister Tief ( Danish Lister Dyb , North Frisian : Lister Diip ) is a tidal current that runs between the North Frisian islands of Sylt (Germany) and Rømø (Denmark). At every tide, around 500 million cubic meters of water flow into the Sylt-Rømø Wadden Sea Bay through the three kilometers (including the sandbank Havsand off Rømø 5.3 kilometers) wide and up to 40 meters deep . Since the construction of the Hindenburg dam in the south in 1927 and a dam from Rømø to the mainland in the north in 1948, this has been the only significant inflow of water into the bay.

On the land side, the Lister Tief branches out into the three channels of Rømø Dyb (Römer-Tief, narrowed continued in Römer Ley), Højer Dyb (Hoyer Tief) and Lister Ley, which each reach depths of around 20 meters. The ecologically sensitive area has been under nature protection on the German side since 1937. When the law on the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park was amended , the inland area with the transition to the Sylt-Rømø Bay should be designated as a zero-use zone in which no human use would have been allowed. Strong protests by the fishermen prevented this.

The ferry of the Rømø-Sylt-Linie , which runs several times a day , crosses the valley. In the entrance to the Prielstrom, the red cliff cross-brand fire was created in 1913 as a warning of a sandbank in the entrance to the Prielstrom. In the entrance there are wrecks from the 17th century.

In the Danish-Dutch-Swedish naval battle in Lister Tief on May 16, 1644, the Danish fleet blocked its opponents in the Sylt-Rømø Bay, which only broke through in a heavy storm.

During the First World War , an outpost boat of the Imperial Navy was named after the deep that ran aground off Borkum in 1918 .
