The municipality, in figures
The municipality
Spiekeroog is a small municipality, elongated from east to west measuring 10 by 3 kilometres. With 858 inhabitants it is of medium density (46 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 are 2 protected areas, including Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer und angrenzendes Küstenmeer. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 2 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.
