The municipality is located on the island of Hooge – a small island off the coast of Germany. It is the second largest of the ten halligen in the Wadden Sea, after Langeneß. It is frequently called the Queen of the Halligen. The houses on the island are built on ten Warften ('artificial dwelling mounds').

The municipality (Gemeinde) Hooge also includes the uninhabited hallig Norderoog.

Hooge has 9 populated Warften:

• Backenswarft
• Kirchwarft
• Ockelützwarft
• Hanswarft
• Ockenswarft
• Lorenzwarft/Mitteltritt (double-terpen)
• Volkertswarft
• Ipkenswarft
• Westerwarft

The Pohnswarft still can be found close to the shore of Hooge. The Pohnswarft is an unpopulated Warft which has been abandoned due to its unfavourable location. There is only a water gauge on it.

The small island of Hainshallig, located off the east coast of Hooge, may have once been connected to the island by a levee and belonged to a Hooge resident, but became flooded and sank in 1860.

In January 2024, Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (A90/Greens) visited Hooge. On the return ferry journey, protesting farmers were waiting, who escalated the situation so much that the ferry left again for safety reasons.

The "spontanious protest of ordinary farmers" was mainly orchestrated by right-wing activists. The local hobby artist Tanja Berkhahn was on the ferry to Hooge and told her partner that Habeck is doing a day trip to Hooge. Berkhahn runed at the 2023 district election for right-wing AfD (election district 21 Friedrichstadt / Schwabstedt) and is spreading QAnon theorys.^[2] Her partner, the agriculture freelancer Holger T. mobilized in right-wing Telegram groups as well as in local farmer groups for a protest action. He is considered to be the main organizer of the violating protest by weekly Die Zeit.^[3][4]
