The Brokmerland is a landscape and historic territory located in western East Frisia in Germany, comprising the area in and around the present-day communities of Brookmerland and Südbrookmerland. The Brokmerland borders the Harlingerland to its east and the Norderland to its north. The historic Brokmerland is usually written with only one "o". Occasionally it is also spelt "Broekmerland" ("oe" pronounced as a long "o"), while today's communities spell the name with a double "o".
