Everything about Butjadingen totally explained
Butjadingen is a
peninsula and
municipality in the
Wesermarsch districts, in
Lower Saxony,
Germany.
Geography
Butjadingen is situated on the German
North Sea coast. It is bordered on the west and southwest by the
Jade River and on the east by the
Weser River. It forms the northern part of the Wesermarsch district and has a rather low population. The town of Butjadingen is close to
Nordenham which geographically is also part of the peninsula Butjadingen.
The peninsula was formed during the
Middle Ages when huge
floods created today's North Sea coast lines. After the disastrous
Second Marcellus Flood on January 13, 1362 (which occurred around the day of
Marcelli Pontificis) Butjadingen temporarily became an island.
Its name is derived from
Low German "buten" (=outside) and "Jade" and thus means
the lands on the other side of the Jade river.
In front of the peninsula is the
Wadden Sea which stretches between the Jade's and the Weser's mouths about 23 kilometres to the northwest beyond the
Mellum island. It is part of the
Nationalpark Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer (Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park), one of three German
Wadden Sea National Parks.
Economy
Agriculture and
tourism constitute the bulk of its economic activity. The main tourist sites are the villages of
Tossens,
Burhave and
Eckwarden. There are
ferries across the Weser from Nordenham to
Bremerhaven and (during summer months) across the Jade from Eckwarderhörne to
Wilhelmshaven. In Nordenham there's a train station with several connections per day to
Bremen.
