About "Wattlüü"

"Wattlüü", a word born from an ancient language. A pseudonym for the inhabitants who live on the coast of the sea and are closely associated with the tides life. A people of fishermen and seafarers who braved the storms and followed the Call of the sea.They came back with stories of the hard work on board, pirates, sea monsters and told of foreign cultures. As a child, I always hung on my father's every word when he talked about his sea voyages. That's how I became a part of his life, far from the mainland. The life of my family was closely linked to the sea and thus also shaped my life and my childhood.
I like to think back to my childhood days. Much of what I know today and who I am today lies in the roots of my homeland.

This is my homeland East Friesland. But what does home actually mean? Is it the country, the people, the traditions or everyday life that connects me to it?
