The complex has been under construction since 2003 as part of experimental archaeology in close cooperation with the Schleswig-Holstein State Office for Archaeology.

Port Closure The port's approach buoy was removed by the authorities without replacement, permanently ending sea access. The decision to close came as a surprise to many, especially since the port had previously been classified as an emergency port and the state of Schleswig-Holstein had covered the costs of the necessary dredging. There are currently no plans to reopen or renovate the port. The owner has not yet commented on future uses of the site. For water sports enthusiasts who have previously used the Lippe harbor, the Wendtorf Marina offers an alternative location.
