Deichmomente Live Summer Tour — Snack & Chat in the Greenhouse

A Podcast Goes on Tour

The podcast "Deichmomente" has been a successful regional format from the St. Peter-Ording Tourism Office for several years: In calm, often personal conversations, host Simone Weilandt interviews personalities from St. Peter-Ording and the entire Eiderstedt peninsula — restaurateurs, beach managers, conservationists, farmers, thatched roofers, artists. In 2026, the team is venturing out for the first time with a Live Summer Tour, featuring four audience recordings, each in an unusual location in the region.

The Second Leg: Snack & Chat in the Greenhouse

The second episode of the tour brings the audience into the greenhouse of "Eiderstedter Gartengemüse" — a regional organic farming business in Kotzenbüll, part of the municipality of Oldenswort. The podcast will be recorded amidst tomato plants, lettuce heads, and herb racks — an unusual backdrop for a live format that perfectly fits the theme.

Topics of the Episode

The focus is on local production and gastronomy on the Eiderstedt peninsula:

• Tobias Jürgens — Owner of "Eiderstedter Gartengemüse", talks about organic farming on the marsh soils between the Eider and the North Sea, regional varieties, and weather risks
• Jo Riffelmacher — Restaurant owner from the region, who cooperates directly with Tobias Jürgens and cooks with his vegetables
• Host: Simone Weilandt, voice of the SPO Tourism Office

Very Limited Audience

The greenhouse can only accommodate 20 free tickets per date. Registration is online via the St. Peter-Ording Tourism Office website. Those who want to be there should be quick — tickets for the first leg were gone within 24 hours.

Kick-off with Beach Manager Heinzi Hecke

The first leg of the tour, on June 12, 2026, took place on the beach of St. Peter-Ording: Heinzi Hecke, long-time beach manager for the Tourism Office, shared stories from his professional life between surf, stilt houses, and tourist questions. Further legs will follow in July and August at other Eiderstedt locations.

Eiderstedt — The Green Peninsula

Oldenswort and Kotzenbüll are located inland on the Eiderstedt peninsula, an almost square marsh peninsula between the Eider River, the North Sea, and the Bay of Husum. The region is predominantly agricultural, with thatched-roof farmhouses (so-called Haubarge), endless salt marshes, and some of the oldest dikes in Northern Germany. Eiderstedt belongs to the district of Nordfriesland and is one of the classic holiday regions on the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea coast.
