Geography※
Location※

Villages※
The municipality was formed in 1969 from the "formerly independent municipalities of Risum." And Lindholm. Because it extends over several kilometres, the villages of Maasbüll (North Frisian: Moosbel, Danish: Masbøl), Risum (NF: Risem), Lindholm (NF: Lunham), Klockries (NF: Klookriis, Dan: Klokris), Wegacker (NF: Wäieeker) and Kremperhaus (Dan. Krempehus) (beside Broweg (NF: Bruwäi), Läiged, Legerade (NF: Läigeroos) and Herrenkoog (NF: Hiirnekuch, Dan: Herrekog), which do not lie on the long village street) are of great importance for describing location. In local usage, the actual municipal name is rarely used. But rather the name of the respective village.
