There are five uninhabited islands:
- Kachelotplate
- Lütje Hörn
- Memmert
- Minsener Oog (artificial island)
- Mellum (east of the mouth of the Jade river, by some sources therefore not considered part of the East Frisian Islands anymore)
- Großer Knechtsand (further east, not part of the East Frisian Islands anymore)
Two more islands, Memmert south of Juist, and Mellum east of Wangerooge are uninhabited. The Kachelotplate is a sandbar in the North Sea. It lies near the German coast west of the island of Juist. Lütje Hörn is an uninhabited island in the North sea. It belongs to Germany and is located approximately 3 to 4 kilometers south east of Borkum in the Memmert is a small East Frisian Island off the northern coast of Germany, with an area of 5 Mellum is an uninhabited East Frisian island lying southeast of Wangerooge, off the coastal settlements of Horumersiel and Schillig. Memmert is a small East Frisian Island off the northern coast of Germany, with an area of 5 Mellum is an uninhabited East Frisian island lying southeast of Wangerooge, off the coastal settlements of Horumersiel and Schillig. Another very small island, Lütje Hörn east of Borkum is in constant danger of being washed away. Lütje Hörn is an uninhabited island in the North sea. It belongs to Germany and is located approximately 3 to 4 kilometers south east of Borkum in the In 2003 the German Coastal Defence (NLWK) announced that the sandbank Kachelotplate can now be called an island too, because it is no longer regularly flooded by high tide. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. The Kachelotplate is a sandbar in the North Sea. It lies near the German coast west of the island of Juist. An island (ˈaɪlənd or isle (/ˈaɪl/ is any piece of land that is completely surrounded by water in two dimensions above high tide and isolated from other significant However, it is not larger than 2 km² and will of course remain unsettled. Kachelotplate is located north of the mouth of the Ems river. The Ems (Ems Eems is a River in northwestern Germany and northeastern Netherlands.
Most of the islands do not allow cars. Car-free zones (also known as auto-free zones and pedestrian zones) are areas of a city or town in which automobile traffic is prohibited The exceptions are Borkum and Norderney, which are also the most crowded islands. There are no bridges connecting the mainland with the islands. Each island is accessible by ferry.
Borkum and Norderney, the Nazi labour camps on Alderney were named after the islands. Lager Borkum was one of the four Nazi Labour camps on Alderney in the Channel islands. Lager Norderney was one of the four Nazi camps on the island of Alderney in the Channel Islands.

Effects of storms and currents
Even though today they are established islands, some of them continue to be in motion. On the East Frisian Island of Juist for example, since the year 1650 there are five different proven sites for the church, as the spot for rebuilding the church had to keep pace with the ever-moving island. Juist (ˈjyːst is one of the seven inhabited East Frisian Islands at the edge of the Lower Saxon Wadden Sea in the southern North Sea, located At times, Juist even consisted of two islands, which eventually grew back together. The neighboring island of Wangerooge in the last 300 years has moved a distance equivalent to its own length to the east, its church tower, destroyed at the outbreak of World War I apparently moving from east to west. Wangerooge is one of the 32 Frisian Islands in the North Sea that are located close to the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark [1]
In this process, land is slowly eroded on the western coasts, while sediments are deposited on the eastern coasts. As a result, western coasts are increasingly protected by human action. The canals between the islands serve as passages for the tides, so that in these places the scouring action of current prevents the islands gradually joining one to another.
