Great love for the small island of Baltrum

Welcome!


oldest known postcard of Baltrum (postmarked 1895)

On all sides closed in by Northsea waves
lies an island, quiet and fine
underneath the colours of the rainbow,
is the place where I was born, mine.
Hardly known in far away lands,
like the little edelweiss,
lies silently our Baltrum,
our own little paradise.
(Free translation of the 1st verse of the island
song of "Schwester Lisbeth" ("Sister Elisabeth"))
