Peter and Arif and all others of course.
Arif, your question about the Hamburg/Niedersachsen border was before I
became a BP-member.
I almost never look in the BP-messages section, only in my mailbox so I
missed that one.
Of course I am willing to scan the map or the part of it where the border
hits the dry land.
It is as Peter S. says: The map on the website of Hamburg gives the correct
shape of the border. A little triangle piece belonging to Hamburg is
touching the coastline, but also over this line (on my map)!
The Zone-II thing refers to the type of nature protection.
My map is the same as on the website; so it is no topo map!
I will try to have two maps scanned by tomorrow.
In the meantime here is the spot on Map24:

For everybody's correct understanding:
The Wadden Sea is a tidal sea. At low tide it is even possible to walk from
the coast to, in this case, the Island Neuwerk and also to Scharhorn. One
only has to cross some channels/gully's.
Also horse and carts drive over the (dry) sea-floor. Deutsche Post
transports the mail on a daily bases in this way.
This also means that the coastline is defined as being at normal mean tide.
I don't know if the Wadden Sea is therefore not yet belonging to the
territorial waters??
Some years ago Hamburg planned to build a very big seaport at Neuwerk +
Scharhörn.
But in the end they didn't. Long live Naturschutz/nature protection!!
