Harlingerland

The Harlingerland is a strip of land on the North Sea coast of East Frisia.

While today the whole of the district of Wittmund is usually described as Harlingerland, historically it specifically refers to the northern part of the present district, which formed the old Frisian state of this name, in particular, the regions around Esens and Wittmund.

The region around Friedeburg still belonged at that time to the Frisian state of Östringen.

The Harlebucht used to extend inland to the east of Werdum, north of Wittmund and Jever.
