100 Jahre Klappholttal auf Sylt 1919 bi

In the summer of 1919, Klappholttal was established as a free German youth camp by Knud Ahlborn. From the very beginning, a diverse cultural program for body, mind, and soul was part of the agenda. This is still the case today at the Klappholttal Adult Education Center, the Academy by the Sea on Sylt. The book celebrating the 100th anniversary tells how it all began and how Klappholttal has evolved into a modern academy over the decades. Many crises had to be overcome. Today, Klappholttal is thriving like never before. As a cultural meeting point with a unique atmosphere, the Academy by the Sea promotes the personal development of its guests. Throughout the year, courses, seminars, lectures, and concerts are offered. The institution thrives on the people who come here. For many, Klappholttal has become an integral part of their own biography. There must be a certain magic that gives this place behind the dunes its allure.
