Today Westermarsch II is a village in the East Frisian borough of Norden with around 500 inhabitants (as at 12/2016).

[2] Curiously the main settlement of Westermarsch II is associated in public perception with the village of Norddeich, with which it has grown together.

The name Westermarsch II denotes the place as being in the west of the marshlands in the historical region of Norderland (see Ostermarsch).

Even before the land was dyked, people settled in the area on artificial hills, the so-called warfts, of which several have survived at least in place names like Osterwarf, Westerwarf, Waterwarf, Trumschlag, Ülkebült, Klooster and Kugel.

On 1 July 1972 the municipality of Westermarsch II was incorporated into the borough of Norden.
