At the beginning of the 20th century, a reform movement spread throughout Germany, aiming to move away from the picturesque "promenade parks" favored by the wealthy. The goal was instead to create architecturally designed, true "people's parks," characterized by large lawns for playing and sunbathing, intimate quiet areas, flower gardens, children's playgrounds, and opportunities for sports. This ideal was embraced in 1914 by the mayor of Rüstringen, Emil Lueken, and his city planning director, Martin Wagner, who oversaw the construction of the Rüstringen City Park. The plans were drawn up by the Hamburg landscape architect Leberecht Migge. He had made a name for himself in 1911 with a horticultural exhibition in Rüstringen and subsequently won the city's competition for the design of the Rüstringen City Park. His design concept consisted of a 21-hectare, 1.4-kilometer-long canal, between 12 and 30 meters wide, bordered by a densely planted poplar avenue. At its ends, the canal was intended to widen into larger rectangular bodies of water. Even today, the city park canal forms the backbone of the park, virtually unchanged, to which the wooded park areas adjoin.

Names Claudius Ptolemy's 2nd-century AD atlas Geographike Hyphegesis lists the North Sea under the Greek name Germanikòs Ōkeanós. This name was translated into Latin through loan translations as Oceanus Germanicus or Mare Germanicum, from there into English as German Sea, and into German as Deutsches Meer. The term "nordermer" or "nortmer," attested in Late Middle High German, was replaced in the 17th century by the now commonly used name "Nordsee" (Dutch: "Noordzee"). In Dutch, the North Sea forms a contrasting pair with the Zuiderzee—the 'southern sea', as seen from Friesland and the North Sea coast. Due to the widespread use of maps used by Hanseatic merchants, the name North Sea (English: North Sea, French: Mer du Nord, etc.) gradually became established throughout Europe. Other common names for a long time were Mare Frisicum (Frisian Sea) and West Sea.

There is always something to see here! Just stop and pause and observe the surroundings

Since dogs are not allowed on any of the dikes in East Friesland (not even on a leash), this dog run was a wonderful opportunity for our dog to run free and socialize. A completely fenced in forest with an idyllic lake, a small beach and bathing facilities for the four-legged friends. Benches in different places, enough waste bins for the poop bags and even ashtray cans for smoking owners. Everything was well looked after and only a few piles were probably "overlooked" by the owners, but there is never 100%. Many thanks to the committed people who have created and maintained such a great place.

Great expanse of water where many species of birds can be stopped and observed.

Very nice landscape right along the dike ... The route from Vareler Hafen am Deich long to Dangast should be enjoyed ... ideal to drive when the weather is nice
