Germany
The modern German part of the Northern European Lowlands is also known as the North German Plain. Much of the North German Plain lies less than 100 meters above sea level. On the North Sea coast, the plain is very flat and round composed mostly of marshes and mufflats. The offshore East Frisian Islands and North Frisian Islands are considered an extension of the North German Plain that was separated from the mainland after floods during the Middle Ages.
The entire federal-states of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg and Berlin, as well as large parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia are located in this European geographic region.
