The islands are administered by the town of Nordenham. Their size is 16,000 and 17,000 square metres, respectively.
On the small islands are the remains of fortifications of what was first the Prussian Navy and later the Kaiserliche Marine. Its function was to protect the harbours of Bremen and Bremerhaven, but the islands were never involved in active warfare.
