Jever, District capital in Friesland, Germany.

The town of Jever extends across 42 square kilometers of Lower Saxony, featuring medieval structures and residential districts surrounded by agricultural fields.

Jever received its city status in 1536 under the leadership of Maria von Jever, who expanded the settlement's influence as a trading center.

The Jever Castle houses the Schlossmuseum, containing exhibits about regional history, traditional East Frisian furniture, and archaeological discoveries from the area.

The town center provides numerous services with banks, shops, and medical facilities, all within walking distance of the main market square.

The Friesisches Brauhaus produces Jever Pilsener beer using water from deep wells beneath the North German Plain since 1848.
