Facts and practical information

Drinkeldodenkarkhoff in Tranpad on Spiekeroog, also called Cemetery of the Homeless, is a memorial to the victims of the emigrant ship Johanne, which stranded off the island on November 6, 1854. As a result of the accident, 77 emigrants lost their lives. The recovered dead were buried on November 9 in a dune valley, which was still outside the village at that time. In the following years, bodies washed up on the beach were repeatedly buried there.
