Rüstringen or
Rustringen was an old Frisian
gau which lay between the modern district
Friesland and the
Weser river in modern
Lower Saxony. Nowadays, only a small part of the original territory remains, namely the
Butjadingen peninsula. The largest part of historical Rüstringen has been lost to the sea in the middle ages due to various
storm surges and now forms the
Jadebusen bay.
