It took sme time to figure out what this building was/is but I got there. Originally the 100-year-old brick structure with the octagonal water tower was the Haase dyeing plant. Now is a comercial area.

The well-known pile dwellings can be seen at every bathing area on the beach of St. Peter-Ording. The tall stilt houses defy the North Sea seven meters above the beach. The pile dwellings are one of the landmarks of St. Peter-Ording on the Eiderstedt peninsula. This is where the swimming masters and lifeguards of the St. Peter-Ording Tourist Office, toilets and pile-dwellings restaurants are located. Protected from the storm surges of the North Sea, the 15 pile dwellings characterize the beach image of St. Peter-Ording.
100 years ago the pile dwellings were called "poison booths". Back then, after swimming in the North Sea, there was a warm drink or something to snack on. Changing rooms and lifeguards were added over the decades.
