Riepster Hammrich (Ihlow)

Location of Riepster Hammrich in Lower Saxony

The Riepster Hammrich used to be consistently a meadow moor area below sea level, only covered with a thin marsh blanket , which had to be kept dry with scoop mills. More than 2100  hectares of the Riepster Hammrichs were washed up with Ems Schlick about one meter in the 20th century , which has permanently changed the soil structure and landscape character.

The community Riepsterhammrich (with this spelling) was incorporated into the new community Ihlow on July 1, 1972.

The Riepster Hammrich is cut through by the A 31 , which connects Emden with Oberhausen . By removing sand for the motorway, several lakes (in East Friesland "seas") have been deepened, including the Bansmeer ( nature reserve ) and the Uphuser Meer (holiday and weekend settlement), into which the ridding flowed up to the gorge.
