Jeverland
Jeverland is the name given to the northern part of today's Friesland district with the city of Jever as the seat of the district administration. The largest city in Jeverland has been Schortens since 2005 .
The Jeverland goes back to the Frisian rule of Jever , which has been linked to the state of Oldenburg since the 16th century and which arose from the Rüstringer Banter district, parts of Östringen and the Wangerland . The city of Wilhelmshaven , founded in 1853, is no longer counted as part of Jeverland, as are the formerly independent parishes of Heppens and Neuende , which are located in what is now the city of Wilhelmshaven . The area of the Kniphausen rulership , which was independent until the 19th century , with the two Sielhafen towns of Inhausersiel and Kniphausersiel , is now partly in the Jeverland and partly in the Wilhelmshaven city area.
In the past, the main source of income in Jeverland was primarily agriculture. Trade was primarily carried out via the small Sielhafenorte Hooksiel , Rüstringersiel and Mariensiel .
In the Jeverland area, the Jeverland dialect is spoken.
