Heligoland would end host to a massive Royal Navy base once the naval arms race began
Precisely because the island would be perfectly positioned to block German influence in the North Sea and a perfect staging group for taking control of the Kiel Canal in Holstein
Your right Germany would want it, but Britain would use this island to stage an invasion
