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.
