Starting in 2026, the Research Unit FOR 5837 | Times of Rise and Failure (TORF) – Integrative research on the cultural landscape development in the North Frisian Wadden Sea region during the Common Era aims for the systematic multidisciplinary investigation and spatio-temporal reconstruction of the medieval coastal landscape of North Frisia (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany), that drowned during a severe storm surge in 1362 AD. Today, abundant relics of the once cultivated land lie hidden in the tidal flats, that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Wadden Sea', extending from the Netherlands to Denmark.
