Summer Concerts at the Koppke Greetsiel

Greetsiel — Stage Between Harbor and Mills

Greetsiel is one of the most beautiful lock villages on the East Frisian North Sea coast. The picturesque harbor scene with crab cutters, clinker gables, and the world-famous twin mills forms the natural backdrop for the Summer Concerts at the Koppke. The concert stage at the lock harbor is open to all visitors and offers a relaxed setting for shared summer evenings. Admission is free; a hat for the artists is gladly passed around between sets.

A Tradition for Locals and Guests

The summer concert series has been one of the Krummhörn's fixed tourism highlights for years. It combines the cultural identity of the lock village with the vibrancy of the summer months, when Greetsiel and the surrounding villages of the Krummhörn experience their peak tourist season. The program features local folk and shanty bands, songwriters from the region, acoustic duos, and occasionally guests from neighboring Friesland in the Netherlands.

Maritime Atmosphere and East Frisian Hospitality

Visitors to the concerts at the Koppke can seamlessly round off the evening in one of the many harbor pubs, crab restaurants, or ice cream parlors. Greetsiel is largely car-free in its core area; a stroll along the harbor before or after the concert is part of the experience for many visitors. The Wednesday evenings are very well attended during the high season, so arriving early is recommended.

Free Admission, Donations Welcome

The concerts are free to attend. The artists appreciate a voluntary collection in a hat. The event takes place in all weather conditions; in case of rain, the concerts will be moved to indoor venues in Greetsiel.
