The Halligen are a group of 10 islands in the northern part of the German Wadden Sea. It concerns ten islands that are not protected by dikes and are therefore flooded at high tide.

Hooge 83
Gröde 13
Nordstrandischmoor 18
Oland 30

Hamburger Hallig 0

There are a few German stamps about Föhr and Pellworm, which are bordering the Hallige. I also saw a few more generic Wadden Sea stamps from Germany and the Netherlands. By the way, I grew up near the Wadden Sea in the "kop van Noord-Holland".

According to https://www.deutschepost.de/de/s/standorte.html, there is only a parcel office on Hooge. Post offices can be found on the neighbouring islands of Pellworm, Amrum, and Föhr. 20 years ago I spent a weekend on Langeness, and the innkeeper told me that if one needed stamps, one could buy them from the postman.

I just watched a documentary on the tiny *halligs* islands in the Wadden Sea. I discovered that mail is delivered by the postman and a private railway car. (the Lorenbahn). I am seeking some information to relay to our local club members and collectors of German stamps. Are there any German stamps featuring the islands? Is there a post office in a house that might have an actual cancellation stamp., or an address to direct a letter ? So many questions and I`m hoping someone can add to my wee bit of knowledge .
Thankyou
