Geographical location

The municipality of Arlewatt extends on the southern bank of the Arlau on both sides of the transition from the Schleswig Geest to the North Frisian Marsh . The community was part of the historical administrative district of Südergoesharde . The entire length of the Arlau rivers forms the northern municipal boundary.

Presumably the name of the municipality originated from the fact that in historical times the bank area of ​​the Arlau could be waded through due to its shallow water near the Geest slope.
