The special issue "Helgoland" is a contribution to the 20th anniversary of the re-release of the island. As early as the Bronze Age, the "Red Cliff" was demonstrably settled by Frisians, belonged alternately to the Duchy of Schleswig-Gottorp, Denmark and England. On 10 August 1890, the German Reich exchanged the island for rights to Zanzibar in what was then East Africa. Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote here on August 26, 1841, the Song of the Germans. Already in the First World War, the entire population met with the evacuation of 1914-1918 a serious fate, which was far exceeded by the events of the war and post-war period of the Second World War. The Heligoland were evacuated after repeated heavy air raids in 1945. Heligoland was finally released on 1 March 1952 after persistent and ongoing efforts by authorities, associations and leading figures at home and abroad to resettle. After the reconstruction - including the supply and spa facilities - the island is one of the most modern German seaside resorts.
