Wangerooge

As opposed to a second wharf located at the northern end of Wangerooge, this one could be approached even during low tide. A 5.4 kilometer long rail link connected the ships landing – on the island's eastern tip, with the village of Wangerooge. Large passenger vessels brought tourists from Wilhelmshaven and Bremerhaven.

Immediately following the Second World War, passenger numbers peaked as Germans were not yet allowed to travel to the nearby island of Heligoland due to the British occupation. In 1952, this changed as Heligoland was reopened for Germans, and passenger numbers to Wangerooge began to decline.
