=== Storm flood === Again and again Hiddensee was hit by [[Storm surge|storm flood]]. For example, the island is said to have been separated from the island of Rügen by the [[All Saints' Flood (1570)|All Saints' Flood]] in 1304, but this has not been proven with certainty. In 1864 and 1865 Hiddensee was breached three times by storm floods between Hohen Dünschen Garn and Peterbergschen Garn, a very shallow and thin area. The [[1872 Baltic Sea flood]] flooded the island again near Plogshagen. There is still a threat of the island being divided into a southern and a northern part, which could only be prevented by extensive coastal protection measures so far.<ref name=":2" />
