Pohnshalligkoog
The Pohnshalligkoog , also known colloquially as Pohns or Pohnskoog , is the youngest inhabited Koog on the Nordstrand peninsula . As a district, it belongs to the municipality of Nordstrand .
history
The Pohnshallig, a former Hallig , was demolished from the island of Alt-Nordstrand by the Burchardi flood in 1634 . After formerly settled areas were successively re-dammed in the 18th and 19th centuries and the island gradually expanded towards the east, the Pohnshallig was finally dyed in 1924.
In the years in between, the uninhabited Hallig was temporarily used by the Schobüller to extract hay.
geography
The Pohnshalligkoog is the easternmost and, with 695 hectares, the second largest Koog on the Nordstrand peninsula . The dike in the Beltringharder Koog in 1987 turned the former island of Nordstrand into a peninsula. This forms the largest Koog on the peninsula, even after the total developed Koog area of 3340 ha has been divided among the neighboring communities.
The island-side transition to Nordstrander Damm is located in the Koog . This forms the (quasi) only public access route from the North Frisian mainland to the peninsula. There is also a further access route for pedestrians and cyclists via the outer dikes of the Beltringharder Koog .
The district of Pohnshalligkoog has 274 inhabitants and is administratively a district of the political municipality of Nordstrand.
economy
The residents of the Pohnshalligkooges, like the rest of the residents of Nordstrand, live mainly from agriculture , services and tourism . A biogas plant was built in the Koog around 2007, which is operated by a local farmer. The tourism structure is characterized, among other things, by a mobile home park on a former farm.
