Die Helgoländer

The tourism season on Heligoland begins in just a few days, and everything needs to be gleaming by then. Once the first guests arrive, Eileen will have her hands full again - often working six or even seven days a week throughout the summer.

Tjark is new to Heligoland. While riding in one of the island’s few cars, the police officer is briefed by his superior, Peter, on the local customs. Meanwhile, Jaqueline and Marc are opening a bagel bistro on the island.

The "Rock 'n' Roll Butterfahrt" (Rock 'n' Roll Butter Trip) is about to begin: Germany’s smallest yet "biggest" punk festival, held on the sandbar (Düne) off Heligoland. To prepare, the organizers are setting up around 50 tons of equipment on the beach of this remote island.

As preparations for the punk rock festival go into full swing, the first bands arrive on the island. Agge finds himself overwhelmed while trying to sort through a mountain of luggage. Meanwhile, several dead seals have been discovered on the beach.

The start of the season for the lifeguards: Nils and Katschi keep a watchful eye on the "Rock 'n' Roll Butter-trippers" as they brave the 8°C (46°F) waters of the North Sea for the traditional first swim of the season on Heligoland.
