Brokmerland
The Brokmerland is a landscape and an historic territory, located in western East Frisia, which covers the area in and around the present-day communities of Brookmerland and Südbrookmerland. The Brokmerland borders in the east on the Harlingerland and in the north on the Norderland. The historic Brokmerland is usually written with only one "o". Occasionally one also finds the spelling "Broekmerland" ("oe" pronounced as a long "o"), while today's communities have chosen to spell the name with a double "o". == Origin of the name == The name of the Brokmerland comes from the Old Frisian and Old Low German word ''brōk'', which meant a moor-like carr landscape, that had been very sparsely settled. It stretched from the western edge of the East Frisian geest ridge, from the Ley (Norder Tief) to the Flumm (Fehntjer Tief) and was characterised by numerous shallow lakes from the Großes Meer to the Sandwater. The rest of the name consists of ''mer'', a slurred version of ''mann'' i.e. "man", with the possessive suffix ''er''. Brokmerland therefore means nothing other than "land of the men from the bog."
