Überland to Take Over Hooksiel Campsite on Jan. 1, 2026
Jobs at the North Sea campground are expected to be retained under insolvency law.
Overview
- Wangerland Touristik GmbH entered self-administered insolvency in late June after the Thalasso Meeres Spa project’s costs rose from €8.8 million to €23 million.
- Berlin-based Überland Camping Gruppe will assume operations of the Hooksiel site, having shown interest before the financial collapse became public.
- The campground comprises about 1,500 pitches in Hooksiel, with the sale price reported as several million euros.
- All current employees are slated to transfer to the buyer because takeover deals in these proceedings require staff retention.
- The Meerwasser-Hallenwellenbad closed on 5 October due to roughly €80,000 in monthly costs, and investors are still being sought for it and the Friesland-Therme.
