About Groothusen

Groothusen is a village. Location: Krummhörn, Landkreis Aurich. Elevation: 1 m.

From Wikipedia

Groothusen is an old Langwurtendorf – a village on an artificially-built ridge – in the municipality of Krummhörn in western East Frisia on Germany's North Sea coast. It lies about 15 kilometres northwest of the seaport of Emden and has a population of 474 (2006). The ridge or warf has a length of about 500 metres and a width of some 130 metres and was built to raise the village above the water level should flooding from the sea occur, for instance, during a storm tide.
