The village is the historic center of St. Peter-Ording.
The popular weekly market takes place every Wednesday on the large market square.
There are other events on the "historic island" throughout the year, such as the wine festival, the pirate days and the small Christmas market in December. The historic Backhus is also located here, where bread is baked once a week in the summer months, just as it used to be.
The "Südstrand" beach section with the "Lotti am Südstrand" pile dwelling is part of the village. Regular mudflat walks take place from here.
There are also numerous stores and restaurants in the village, as well as the commercial area with Rossmann, Rewe, Stolz and Lidl.
