Hooge is a small island off the coast of Germany. It is the second largest of the ten halligen (a hallig is an island that would be below the water level during normal high tide if there was no dike around it) in the Wadden Sea. This hallig is frequently called the Queen of the Halligen. The houses are built on ten so called terpen.

Terpen (Warften, Warfen, Wurten) on Hallig Hooge

Hooge has 9 populated terpen (whereas one is a double-terpen consisting actually of two ones):
* Backenswarft
* Kirchwarft
* Ockelützwarft
* Hanswarft
* Ockenswarft
* Lorenzwarft/Mitteltritt (double-terpen)
* Volkertswarft
* Ipkenswarft
* Westerwarft

Furthermore, the Pohnswarft still can be found close to the border of Hooge. The Pohnswarft is an unpopulated terp which has been given up due to its unfavorable location and as a result is not as high as the still populated ones. Today, there is only a water gauge on it.
