The island of Juist is only 500 m wide, but 17 km long, which makes it the longest of the East Frisian Islands (Borkum, Memmert, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog, and Wangerooge). 2,800 people live on the island. No motor traffic is allowed.

The first church on the island was destroyed by high tides in 1651, and three later churches also were destroyed by the sea. The picture on the glass shows Juist's fifth church, built in 1771 in the eastern part of the village. This church was demolished to make room for the modern Protestant parish church.
