Wesermarsch

Wesermarsch is a district in Lower Saxony that stretches along the coastal region and contains nine municipalities. The area is defined by river landscapes and connects several settlements including Brake and Nordenham.

The area became a separate district in 1933 when several local administrative units were merged together. This consolidation created a new structure for managing the Weser region.

The name Wesermarsch refers to the marshland along the Weser River, where the landscape is flat and shaped by water. This geography shapes how people live day-to-day, adapted to tides and occasional flooding.

The Weser River is the main waterway connecting the municipalities to each other and to Bremen and the North Sea. Visitors should know that the flat terrain is easy to explore, but tides can affect access to some areas.

The district's coat of arms features red and yellow stripes representing the former Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. A Frisian warrior figure in the design reflects the historical roots of the Frisian people in this area.
