Duhnen (toponym derived from
dunes) is a seaside resort (
Seebad ) along the
North Sea, from the centre of
Cuxhaven city,
Lower Saxony,
Germany. Duhnen is located northwest of
Berlin. In 1935 Duhnen was incorporated into the city Cuxhaven, more than 100 years after the city had been established. Visitors to Hamburg's nearby island of
Neuwerk commonly travel through Duhnen. It was at one time a remote fishing and farming village, but today is one of the tourist centres of
Cuxland.
