Freepsum

Freepsum is a village in the region of East Frisia in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The village has 437 inhabitants (2006) and lies about ten kilometres northwest of the seaport of Emden.

Today the village is one of the 19 parishes in the Krummhörn, as the municipality is colloquially called.

The lowest point of the resulting hollow was for a long time the lowest point in Germany, at 2.5 metres below sea level, but has since been superseded in that respect by a point in Neuendorf-Sachsenbande which has officially been measured at 3.54 m (11.61 ft) below Normalnull.
