EAST FRISIA · NORDEN–NORDDEICH
Where the city ends and the sea begins
A stroll through Norden, a detour
to the old windmill, and shortly after,
the first view of the North Sea.
In Norden–Norddeich, East Frisian
urban history and a maritime vacation feeling
are very close to one another.
The illustration combines both sides
of the town into a shared landscape:
historic architecture, brick, and
green trees meet bright dunes,
beach chairs, and the vast blue of the sea.
BETWEEN BRICKWORK AND NORTH SEA WIND
Norden – East Frisian history in watercolor
On the left side of the image, historic
churches with striking towers dominate the townscape.
Next to them are traditional buildings with
light-colored facades and red brick walls.
Flowers, trees, and small green spaces
give the scene a summery lightness.
A windmill with its large sails rises
above the rooftops. Its structure
forms a vibrant focal point between
the architecture of Norden and the open
landscape that unfolds towards the coast.
Fine ink lines emphasize windows, roofs,
and windmill sails, while transparent
watercolor paints allow the trees and the sky
to blend softly into one another.
A PIECE OF EAST FRISIA
“A bit of brick, a fresh sea breeze,
and suddenly everything feels like a vacation.”
Norddeich – a path through the dunes
On the right side, the illustration opens up
to the North Sea coast.
A wooden boardwalk leads between
dune grass and bright sandy areas
down to the beach.
There, a blue-and-white striped
beach chair awaits with a view of the sea.
On the horizon, the calm blue
of the water and the bright sky
meet, while seagulls circle
above the coastal landscape.
The soft sand and green tones form
a calm counterpart to the more precise
lines of the historic town.
This creates a visual story that
leads from the town center to the beach.
Norden · Town & History
Churches, brick architecture, and
the traditional windmill tell the story
of the evolved cultural landscape
of East Frisia. Warm natural tones
give the town motif its
inviting character.
Norddeich · Beach & Sea
Dune grass, wooden boardwalk, beach chair,
and the vast horizon bring
the maritime side of the town
into the picture. Bright watercolor areas
convey the feeling of
light, wind, and North Sea air.
An illustration full of coastal colors
The design thrives on the transition between
detailed architecture and the open
expanse of the North Sea landscape.
Brick red, warm sand-beige, and
vibrant green meet transparent
shades of blue and gray.
The individual image elements flow
seamlessly into each other, while
generous white spaces preserve the motif's
lightness.
The East Frisia emblem with a stylized
lighthouse, dunes, and seagulls complements
the scene as a maritime signature.
Two editions – two maritime color effects
In the white edition, the
illustration unfolds its particularly bright
and airy watercolor effect.
The gentle coastal colors and fine
architectural drawings stand
on a calm, clear background.
The blue edition, in contrast, picks up
the motif's maritime color tones
and creates an additional connection
to the sea, sky, and beach chair.
A slightly bolder interpretation
of the same East Frisian visual story.
Care & Handling
The ceramic mug is dishwasher-
and microwave-safe.
For the longest possible color brilliance
of the motif, gentle cleaning is
recommended.
Severe temperature shocks and
impacts should be avoided.
A short journey from Norden to the sea
Perhaps you remember a
vacation in Norddeich, a stroll
through Norden, or a particularly
beautiful day on the North Sea beach.
Or perhaps East Frisia is
a piece of home to you.
This illustration combines both
sides of Norden–Norddeich into
a loving travel memento –
between urban history,
a windmill, and the sound of the sea.
