Aurich, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany
The district of Aurich extends over 1,287 square kilometers along the North Sea coast, including the inhabited islands of Juist, Norderney, and Baltrum.
The district was formed in 1977 through the consolidation of the previous districts of Aurich and Norden, establishing a larger administrative region in East Frisia.
The district's coat of arms displays a virgin eagle, representing medieval chieftains, along with six-pointed spurs for Norden and acorns symbolizing Aurich city.
The district capital Aurich serves as the administrative center for 192,072 residents, managing services across mainland territories and North Sea islands.
Parts of the district lie within the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park, where natural tidal movements create distinct patterns in the coastal landscape.
