The Wangerland pumping station drains the 26,000 hectare catchment area of the Sielacht Wangerland via the Wangertief into the North Sea .
function
The pumping station was built from 1971 to 1973 about two kilometers south of Horumersiel . Its four propeller pumps are able to pump a total of 54,000 liters of water per second from the Hohenstief into the Wangertief. In this way, the drainage of the previously merged sluices from Horumersiel, Hohenstiefersiel, Crildumersiel and Hooksiel can be ensured via the Wangersiel.
In 2007 the system was converted to automatic operation. In addition to the main Wangerland pumping station itself, the Moorland and Wiedel lower pumping stations as well as the Wangersiel in neighboring Horumersiel are controlled from here.
