Dorum, Coastal district in Wurster Nordseeküste, Germany.
Dorum is a coastal settlement in Lower Saxony with flat terrain and traditional thatched-roof houses. The village sits right at water level and displays the typical appearance of a North German coastal community.
The settlement operated as an independent community until 2015 and has a long past as a rural republic in the Bremen region. Its merger into Wurster Nordseeküste municipality represents the most recent chapter in its history.
The area shows strong ties to maritime life through regional customs and how people carry on their daily routines. Fishing traditions and the way locals interact with the tidal flats shape the character of the settlement.
The village is accessible by regional bus or car from Bremen, located roughly 75 kilometers away. Visitors should bring warm clothing and weather-resistant gear, as the coast is exposed to North Sea conditions.
Near Dorum stands the Obereversand lighthouse, which guides vessels at the gateway to the Wadden Sea National Park. This structure marks one of the region's most critical navigation points.
