The history of Wester-Spätinge dates back to the 16th century. For protection
the current outer dike was built in 1579 to protect against storm surges and land reclamation.
The dike builders needed large quantities of clay for this. This loamy soil was taken from the area of the Wester sparrows. This laborious manual work was called "spading". The word gave the area its name.
Inland dyke created flat ponds, which today are both natural and cultural monuments. While the surrounding lands were being cleared, the 27-hectare Wester-Spätinge was largely left to its own devices.
Only after the storm surge of 1962 were bigger ones needed due to a dyke breach
lots of cling. The three meter deep excavator hole in the north of the area is now the deepest pond in the nature reserve.

If you are lucky you can watch the whole herd of sheep being herded together to be washed. Washing once a year prevents the spread of ectoparasites.

The swamp and water areas of the nature reserve are popular breeding and resting areas and a habitat for a large number of birds. Numerous other animals have also found a safe home here.
