Edewecht

Edewecht is a rural municipality in Ammerland, Lower Saxony, composed of multiple villages and settlements spread across the region. Farmland, moorlands, and residential areas form the backbone of the landscape.

The area has been settled since ancient times and experienced significant warfare during the final stages of the Second World War. Traces of these periods remain visible in the landscape.

The municipality maintains active partnerships with Krosno in Poland and Wusterhausen/Dosse in Brandenburg, fostering regular exchanges between communities.

A car is the most practical way to explore the various villages and settlements scattered across the area. Plan your route ahead since locations are spread out and public transport connections are limited in rural areas.

Archaeological digs in the Husbäke area uncovered bodies preserved in peat bogs, revealing that people inhabited this region long ago. These finds offer rare evidence of how early inhabitants lived in this moorland area.
