Wittmund, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The district of Wittmund spans 657 square kilometers along the North Sea coast, incorporating mainland areas and the islands of Langeoog and Spiekeroog.
The Prussian administration established Wittmund as a district in 1885, merging the administrative units of Wittmund, Esens, and the City of Esens.
The district coat of arms displays a ship with three sails featuring symbols of local rulers: a bear, tournament lances, and an eagle.
The district connects to the North Sea through the port of Harlesiel, which provides ferry services to the East Frisian Islands.
Wittmund houses an active Luftwaffe air base at Wittmundhafen, maintaining military aviation operations in the northern region of Germany.
