Stories from St. Peter-Ording and the Eiderstedt Peninsula

In the newly released podcast "Deichmomente" – Where Stories from the Far North Take on a Human Face – Simone talks with people who have found a home on the North Sea. They talk about their longings, about living with an eye toward the future—and about why they’ve found their personal happiness right here, between high and low tide.
 
Come along to St. Peter-Ording on the Eiderstedt Peninsula—where the sea comes and goes, revealing the mudflats in between.

For me, “Deichmomente” are moments of dialogue. Engaging in conversation with people who can so beautifully express their connection to the Eiderstedt Peninsula always leaves me feeling, as I head home, that I live in an incredibly beautiful place with warm-hearted people.

Moments on the Dike – Fresh from the Field

Simone talks with Himbeertobi & Jo

Simone talks with Tobias “Himbeertobi” and Jo from Salt & Silver about the journey of regional delicacies: from the field to the pan. Their conversation focuses heavily on sustainable vegetable farming, true regionality, and the question of why good food is so much more than just what ends up on your plate.

From the Field to the Pan

Himbeertobi and Jo on Diversity and Connections

In this episode of “In the Middle of the Field,” two worlds that are a perfect match come together: Jo from Salt & Silver and Himbeertobi show just how valuable the connection can be—from the farm to the finished dish on the restaurant table. 

Jo cooks at the stilt house restaurant Salt & Silver on Böhler Beach and explains why St. Peter-Ording is both a place he longs for and a place that feels like home. For Himbeertobi, his field is not only his workplace but also his sanctuary, a place of learning, and a labor of love. 

As food artists and hosts in Eiderstedt, they discuss how thinking and acting regionally is more than just a business relationship—it spans the connection between soil and plate, people and nature, everyday life and moments by the North Sea.

Moments on the Dike – Beach Stories from the Stilt Houses

Simone talks to Heinzi

Simone talks with Heinzi about life right on the beach in St. Peter-Ording—about special encounters, unforgettable moments, and stories. Together, they reflect on beach life then and now, on moments typical of St. Peter-Ording, and on a place that has been a part of Heinzi’s life and shaped him for many years.

There's always something new with the sandbank every year. And it never gets old. Because new people are always coming, and the beach is always changing, too.

40 Years of Beach History

Heinzi and the Beach at St. Peter-Ording

This episode tells the story of a life on the beach that has been closely tied to St. Peter-Ording for decades.

For Heinzi, the beach is far more than just a workplace. Between the pier, the stilt houses, and the North Sea, he has had countless encounters, accompanied people, and collected stories that only this special place can inspire.

With his North German charm, Heinzi talks about life on the beach, the culture of Eiderstedt, and a place that means far more to him than just a workplace.

Where Nature Opens the Heart

Authentic North Sea Moments

This episode is a declaration of love for a place that, for many, is far more than just a vacation destination: a constant, a place to simply be—and sometimes even a second home.

For Taina, St. Peter-Ording became her new home years ago—because for her, nothing grounds her more than the nature and open spaces of this place.

On her Instagram channel, nordseegestoeber, she shares authentic glimpses into her everyday life. Through her photos, little stories, and moments with her dog Coco, she captures exactly what many people associate with this special place in their hearts.

Moments on the Dike – The Coast Against Plastic

Simone talks with Jennifer Timrott

She’s an environmentalist, a creative mind, and a coastal dweller—we welcome Jennifer Timrott to the stilt house on the beach at St. Peter-Ording. Many years ago, she and her husband founded the organization “Küste gegen Plastik” (Coast Against Plastic). They came up with an app that lets users scan a barcode to let manufacturers know they’d prefer products without plastic packaging. Find out what drives Jennifer and what else she has planned in our conversation with her.

 

I'm an earth person. I feel very connected to the earth—to nature—and I've felt that way ever since I was a child.

Small Steps, Big Impact

Toward a Future Without Plastic Waste in the Ocean

Plastic harms us and our environment—not only nature, but also animals and us as humans. On the website, you can learn more about how everyone can help tackle this problem.

You’re warmly invited to join our regular beach cleanup events, “SPO klart auf!”
