North Frisian Islands on theNorth Sea coast ofGermany . It is part of theNordfriesland district in the federal state ofSchleswig-Holstein . Its area is 37 km², and its population is circa 1,200.In medieval times Pellworm was a part of the larger island of Strand which was torn into pieces in a disastrous
storm tide in1634 . Other remnants of Strand are Nordstrand and theHallig en.Pellworm is accessible by a
ferry departing from the neighbouringpeninsula of Nordstrand (which is in turn connected with the mainland by a roadcauseway ).One of the largest hybrid renewable energy plants in Europe is to be found on Pellworm [http://www.pvresources.com/en/hybrid.php] . It combines photovoltaic and wind energy to provide over 700MWh/y of electricity.
Together with several smaller islands, Pellworm forms the "Amt" Pellworm.
