Our Branch Norden
[Translate to EN:]
In East Frisia there's not only flat land, the Wadden Sea, and the East Frisian Islands (popular with the vacation crowd), but also our beautiful Branch Norden. We work as hard in the summer sunshine, as in the storms and rain of the fall and winter. After all, a stiff breeze is not enough to blow the socks off of our 100 or so colleagues and about five apprentices.
Our administration is located in the city of Norden with the departments Engineering & Technical, Real Estate, HR & Administration, Commercial Affairs, and the Branch Management. At our sites in Norddeich, Norderney, and Bensersiel, we have construction yards, which are mainly used for craftsmanship projects. The locations Baltrum, Bensersiel, Langeoog, Norddeich, Norderney, and Wangerooge are managed by our ships’ reporting offices. Due to the decentralized structure, careful planning is necessary on site, because once the craftsman arrives in Baltrum and forgets his "trowel", the work day is ruined!
Our Norden team is known for their particularly resilient attitude and a great dose of humor. So, if you are looking for great colleagues, this is the place to be, because collegiality is a priority in Norden. In addition to a soccer team we have a bowling team and in the “national” sport of Boßeln (a kind of shot-put game), our branch usually garners the top places at the annual NPorts community event. The annual joint summer festival and the Christmas party are great bonding experiences for our team and the joint cup of East Frisian tea is definitely a must during the breakfast break.
Who says, East Frisians don’t have a sense of humor? Our Norden colleagues may just prove you wrong!

The City of Norden has a long history and is considered the oldest and fourth largest city in East Frisia. Norden-Norddeich is the city's best-known district, since this is the location, from where ferries depart to the outlying East Frisian Islands of Juist and Norderney. Norddeich has been a federally-recognized North Sea spa since 1979 and is one of the largest federally-recognized ocean spa resorts on the North Sea coast. By the way: In Norden, they talk “Platt”, the northern dialect. But don't be afraid, the East Frisians are open to the world and - if and when they want - can also understand High German.
