About 100 Years Seebrücke SPO

On May 23, 2026, the Seebrücke Sankt Peter-Ording will turn 100 years old — and the entire seaside resort will celebrate. From 11 a.m., the area in front of the pier will transform into a festival mile with game stations, live music, culinary offerings, and hands-on activities for the whole family. From 10 p.m., the celebration continues indoors at the neighboring GOSCH with an indoor party. The 1,095-meter-long wooden pier, built on around 7,000 piles, is one of the most impressive wooden structures on the German North Sea coast. The anniversary festival is organized by the Sankt Peter-Ording Tourism Office in cooperation with GOSCH.

1,095 meters over the North Sea

The Seebrücke Sankt Peter-Ording is a landmark of Schleswig-Holstein and one of the most photographed structures on the German North Sea coast. With a length of 1,095 meters, it leads from the beach promenade over the wide sandy beach out to the water — past the stilt restaurant "Arche Noah," which appears to tower in the middle of the North Sea at high tide.

A Pier from 1926

The first pier was built in 1926 — but shortly after its completion, it was severely damaged by drift ice. In 1928, a reinforced reconstruction with icebreakers followed. Since then, the pier has been renovated several times, most recently in 2005 with a comprehensive modernization. Today, the structure rests on around 7,000 wooden piles, connected by about 98,000 screws and nails.

The Anniversary Day

On May 23, 2026, the 100th birthday will be celebrated with an all-day program. On the forecourt of the pier, starting at 11 a.m., there will be game stations for families, live music, culinary stands, and hands-on activities. Additionally, an interactive outdoor escape game called "Projekt Zeitbrücke" with ten stations along the promenade invites visitors to immerse themselves in the history of the structure. An app allows the original construction process from 1926 to be virtually recreated.

Indoor Party at GOSCH

From 10 p.m., the festival moves indoors to the traditional GOSCH branch at the promenade pillar. Here, the anniversary day concludes with a party — fitting the maritime soul of the seaside resort.
