Risum-Lindholm

Risum-Lindholm (North Frisian: Risem-Loonham) is a municipality in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

Risum-Lindholm lies about five kilometres southeast of Niebüll and six kilometres west of Leck on a boundary between a low, sandy area of geest and the marshes.

Because it extends over several kilometres, the villages of Maasbüll (North Frisian: Moosbel, Danish: Masbøl), Risum (NF: Risem), Lindholm (NF: Lunham), Klockries (NF: Klookriis, Dan: Klokris), Wegacker (NF: Wäieeker) and Kremperhaus (Dan.

Krempehus) (beside Broweg (NF: Bruwäi), Läiged, Legerade (NF: Läigeroos) and Herrenkoog (NF: Hiirnekuch, Dan: Herrekog[2][3]), which do not lie on the long village street) are of great importance for describing a location.

In local usage, the actual municipal name is rarely used, but rather the name of the respective village.
