East Frisian peninsula

In its broadest definition Ost-Friesland can be used to embrace all the Frisian parts of the German state of Lower Saxony, i.e. those areas which represent the "East Section" of the Inter-Frisian Council (which include the former Rüstringen (Butjadingen etc.), Land Wursten and sometimes other areas).
