Loog (in common parlance: "the Loog") describes the second main town on the island of Juist . It is a district of the unitary municipality Inselgemeinde Juist, in the district of Aurich in Lower Saxony (Germany).
location
The Loog is located around 2.5 kilometers west of the core town of Juist and is connected to it via Billstrasse, which continues to the Bill domain at the west end. The Loog is bordered in the south by a dike and in the north by the dunes. The settlement lies to the east of the Loog on Billstrasse , to the west is the Loog domain and, behind it, the Hammersee .
Infrastructure
The Loog has its own infrastructure, consisting of a small supermarket, several restaurants, bicycle rentals , the Loogster Huus event house and the coastal museum . At the eastern entrance there is a children's playground and in summer there is a boat pond in front of the Loogster Huus (in winter the water is drained to avoid frost damage). The Loog has its own dune crossing over the pirate path and in front of it its own beach. The next dune crossings are 500 meters west at the Loog domain and 700 meters east in the settlement. In the Loog there is a fisherman's house named after the painter and graphic artist Alf Depser , which the artist lived in until his death in 1990. The Depser House is one of the oldest houses on the island. With the Mamminga House , the oldest surviving island house is also located in the Loog, it probably dates from the late 18th century.
history
1925 founded educational reformer Martin Luserke in the Loog school by the sea , one as a boarding -run boarding school . For this purpose, he acquired a first island house in 1924. By 1931 the school ensemble comprised a total of eleven buildings, a marine aquarium with 30 basins, eleven school gardens, a botanical garden and several sheds as a stable and material store. The educational institution was characterized in particular by its musical character, including the amateur play introduced by Luserke , which is now an integral part of many school offers and teacher training. The school by the sea was intended by the Prussian State Ministry for Science, Art and National Education and the Central Institute for Education and Teaching for the Germany-wide training of amateur play teachers . In 1930/31, it was the only German school to have its own stage hall built by Bruno Ahrends , which was the largest reinforced concrete structure in East Frisia at the time. In 1934 the school by the sea was closed against the background of the National Socialist " Gleichschaltung ". From 1952 the “Inselburg” children's home of the Evangelical Johanneswerk became the centerpiece of the former school in the second half of the 1970s as the DJH youth hostel. The former stage hall is part of it with an additional floor and significantly more windows. The coastal museum also presents its extensive exhibits in two former school buildings, directly adjacent to a former residential building for the teaching staff.
