Wittmund has served as an administrative centre of Harlingerland in East Frisia since the late Middle Ages. The town lies on the Harle amid the flat marsh and peat landscapes of Lower Saxony, with the North Sea coast shaping the character of the wider district. Peldemühle, an 18th-century windmill, preserves a feature of the region’s former working landscape and now houses a local-history museum. As the seat of Landkreis Wittmund, the town connects inland communities with the coastal areas and East Frisian Islands. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across East Frisia.
