Friesland

The district extends across the northwestern part of Lower Saxony, incorporating coastal territories along the North Sea and inland agricultural regions.

The district emerged from territorial reorganizations in 1933 and underwent significant administrative reforms in 1980, establishing its current governmental structure.

The region maintains strong connections to Frisian heritage through local traditions, with Jever serving as the administrative center and cultural focal point.

The district administration provides public services to residents through offices in multiple municipalities, coordinating regional development and infrastructure maintenance.

The territory contains sections of the Wadden Sea National Park, where tidal flats create distinct ecological zones between the mainland and North Sea islands.
