The Landwürden district encompasses multiple villages including Buttel, Dedesdorf, Eidewarden, Maihausen, Oldendorf, Overwarfe, Reitmoor, Ueterlande, and Wiemsdorf at one meter below sea level.

Between 1273 and 1278, Landwürden emerged in historical documents as an external territory of Oldenburg, later requiring temporary lease to Bremen following the 1408 Battle of Golzwarden.

The municipal coat of arms of Landwürden displays Saint Lawrence, represented with traditional symbols including a gridiron and a book.

The region maintains a population density of 37 inhabitants per square kilometer, with local services centered in the constituent villages across the administrative territory.

The Dedesdorf windmill, constructed in 1847, stands as a gallery Dutch mill type structure within the district boundaries.
