Der Rote Fels (1938)
Footage captures the winter storms on Heligoland’s coast, with snow-covered promenades and houses. Narrow alleys and streets are visible, leading to the Oberland. Destroyed houses and closed shops highlight the storm’s impact. Fishermen repair boats, and renovation work is underway. The Heligoland lighthouse stands in the evening, while the “Kobra” mail boat arrives twice weekly, unloading goods. Hamburg’s vibrant scenes include the harbor, St. Pauli, and train stations. The “Königin Luise” ship offers a journey from Hamburg to Heligoland, with passengers enjoying the sea. Traditional costumes and local life, including Heinz Bohle’s restaurant, add cultural depth to the island’s charm.
