An attempt to remap Europe and claim back the lost territories of the North Sea
Langlütjen – Eckwarderhörne
That winter, Tom’s mother was visiting. He thought she would be interested in Langlütjen and was determined to go again. My scepticism about this venture turned out to be misplaced.
Nordenham – Langlütjen
On one of the only days of sun we’d experienced that summer, we finally made use of a car-sharing scheme we had joined. Tom drove us to the Weser estuary at Nordenham.
Eiderstedt
A day later, we used the hire car and drove to Eiderstedt. We had been here once before, as we’d planned to move to Tönning when circumstances changed and we ended up in Bremen.
Bremerhaven
When we came back to Bremen in November, we visited Bremerhaven as I wanted to see the harbour, which supposedly influenced Goethe’s use of land reclamation in Faust.
