Shipwreck Mariann
In the Wadden Sea between Braderup and Munkmarsch, barely 200 meters from the beach, lies the shipwreck of the once proud three-masted schooner "Mariann".
At low tide you can clearly see the wooden remains.
Anyone who now thinks of a shipping accident or even pirates may be disappointed when they learn the true background:
In 1961, the ship was towed into Munkmarsch harbor by two Sylt residents who wanted to open a floating café on it. However, the necessary permit was denied, so they anchored the ship a little further north, between Munkmarsch and Braderup, in the Wadden Sea.
The duo's plan B: convert the ship into a cabaret! However, the authorities thwarted their plans: the necessary pier was not approved.
For lack of alternatives, the ship became an unofficial party boat until a fire broke out on board in 1981. The cause was never determined.
