The municipality, in figures

The municipality

Oederquart is a medium-sized municipality measuring 11 by 6 kilometres. With 1.006 inhabitants it is of medium density (27 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there is 1 protected area: Oederquarter Moor. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by the area's own plan. It borders 10 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.
