About Stadt Wyk auf Föhr
editThe Stadt Wyk auf Föhr, with around 5,000 inhabitants, is the main town of the North Frisian island of Föhr, nestled in the unique landscape of the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site. As the oldest North Sea resort in Germany after Norderney, Wyk looks back on a long tradition in tourism, which is now the most important economic base.
Wyk offers a variety of services and facilities for residents and guests. These include the AquaFöhr, a modern leisure pool, the Wyker Hafen with its various areas (ferry port, marina, inner harbor, fishing port) and the popular beach chair rental on Wyker Strand. The city administration takes care of the concerns of the citizens, from education and clubs to waste disposal and living and aging. Cultural offers such as the city library and various events enrich life in Wyk.
The city of Wyk is committed to the goal of sustainable development. An important instrument for this is the transport and mobility concept, which aims to transform transport towards environmentally friendly mobility. The focus is on the expansion and renovation of the cycle path network in order to promote cycling and pedestrian traffic and reduce the number of cars in the city. The aim is to improve the quality of life for locals and tourists alike and to protect the island's unique nature.
The coat of arms of the city of Wyk, which shows a wrecked three-master of the 17th century and a golden star, symbolizes the city's close connection with seafaring and the constant danger with which the population of Föhr lived. The star stands for hope and a thriving development of the city.
