Saddle of pork (Schleswig-Holstein)

Topographical overview map of the German Empire, sheet 08/09 Westerland-Tondern (1906): The map shows the pork back west-southwest of Langeness ( north marsh ).

The pork back is a mudflat between the Hallig Langeneß and the island of Amrum . It is surrounded by the north marshland fairway in the east, the mudflat Marschnack in the north, the Norderaue in the northwest and the fairway Schweinsücken-Durchfahrt in the south. The Süderaue runs further south .

The area used to belong to the Wiedrichsharde .

The area usually dries out at low tide and is then populated by seals in summer . Together with the Marschnack, the pig's back protects Langeneß from flooding .
