The cemetery of the homeless in Westerland on Sylt, also known as the "homeland for the homeless", was laid out in 1854 by the beach bailiff Wulf Hansen Decker. Up to this point, unknown corpses washed up on the beach were simply left to their own devices. Most of them were sailors who had fallen overboard and drowned. A chronicler counted 418 deaths on Sylt's beaches for the period from 1600 to 1870.
