Neuwerk (3 km², 33 inhabitants) is a Wadden Sea island on the German North Sea coast. It is located northwest of Cuxhaven, between the Weser and Elbe estuaries. Neuwerk belongs administratively to Hamburg, even though the distance to Hamburg's center is about 120 km.
During low tide the island can be reached on foot or by horse carriages from Cuxhaven, at other times by ship.
The smaller islands Scharhörn and Nigehörn close to Neuwerk are bird sanctuaries, closed to the public. All three islands and the Wadden Sea around them form the Hamburg Wadden Sea National Park.
