The Hammelwardener Sand is an almost five square kilometer part of the Weseraue on the right bank of the Unterweser, which can only be viewed as an island to a limited extent .

geography

It lies as a rectangle about four kilometers long and one kilometer wide, parallel to the Weser, between the right branch of the Weser and the marshland of the Süder- Osterstade in the foreland of the winter dike . It is protected from the arm of the Weser by a summer dike . On the landward side, the Hammelwardener Sand is bounded by the Aschwardener Flutgraben , which comes from the Osterholzer Geest and after the sluice in the winter dike bends to the north and two kilometers further to the west, and by the Hasseler Balje , which connects to the right branch in the south-west and in the northeast to the Aschwarden flood ditch. Both bodies of water have gates in the summer dike. Of the waters surrounding the island, the right tributary is the hydrological left.

The northern half belongs to the Wurthfleth district of the municipality of Hagen im Bremischen in the district of Cuxhaven , the southern half to the district of Aschwarden of the municipality of Schwanewede in the district of Osterholz , both in Lower Saxony .

Apart from the bank zone on the right arm of the Weser, the whole island is used for agriculture . In both parts there is a larger homestead and a settler house. There is no fixed connection between the north and south halves.
