Krempe Marsh

The Krempe Marsh (German: Kremper Marsch or Krempermarsch) is one of the Holstein Elbe marshes and lies northeast of the River Elbe between its tributaries of the Krückau and Stör and the edge of the geest.

The Krempe Marsh is part of district of Steinburg in Schleswig-Holstein.

In the south of the Krempe Marsh the Dutch established at that time an almost enclosed region of settlement.

[1] The region is even today still overwhelmingly agricultural, the most important branch being the rearing of cattle; in addition the cultivation of rape seed and grain are also important.

Here there is also industry and a ferry link over the Elbe to Wischhafen.
