The Persil watch at the anchorage in Büsum

Since 1998, the Persiluhr, which won a national competition held by the Henkel Group, has adorned Büsum's anchorage. The original Persil watches were already popular meeting places in the 1920s. The Büsumer and the other eight replicas of this nostalgic watch, which are distributed throughout Germany, were made to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Persil brand.

Why was Büsum chosen as the winner?
Since the 5.5 meter high and 1 square meter radio-controlled clock will find a worthy setting and a lot of attention on the attractive anchorage...

There are only 8 of these clocks, the locations are:
busum
Flensburg
In Luenen, Westphalia
Straubing
Mühlhausen / Thuringia
Recklinghausen
Genthin / Jerichow country
Hamm

May 26, 2025,Von Büsum nach Friedrichskoog und zurück
A beautiful tour, although unfortunately only behind the dike, but suitable for everyone, as long as you don't have a strong headwind, which you'll encounter not only on the outward journey but possibly also on the return journey.

The dike near Friedrichskoog is currently being rebuilt, including a swimming area; it will take some time until it's finished.

We wanted to take advantage of the good weather and buy some little things in Büsum. Since there was a strong headwind on the way back, we partly drove with support. This is why the tour is also marked as an e-bike tour.

It went past the North Sea to the seal station in Friedrichskoog, past the Meldorf harbor and Friedrichskoog peak. Then to the port in Friedrichskoog (which is actually no longer a port), there is an interesting building in the form of a whale 🙂 then back to Büsum

In very windy weather it was sometimes quite exhausting.
But the stroll through Büsum and a delicious meal made up for it. 👍
