The **Emsigerland**, or **Emderland** was a historic region on the western edge of [East Frisia](/source/East_Frisia) by the [Wadden Sea](/source/Wadden_Sea), which covered a wide area around the town of [Emden](/source/Emden). The Emsigerland borders in the north on the [Federgau](/source/Federgo), in the northeast on the [Brokmerland](/source/Brokmerland) in the east on the [Moormerland](/source/Moormerland) and in the south on the [Rheiderland](/source/Rheiderland).

The Emsigerland was based on a historic territorial parish (*Landesgemeinde*), the [Emsgau](/source/Emsgau), and formed its economic centre. Unlike the rest of East Frisia, no system of chieftains was established here; the lands of the Emsgo including the Emsigerland remained autonomous. That changed in 1379, when the region passed into the possession of the [tom Broks](/source/Tom_Brok), whose inheritance then passed to the [Cirksena](/source/Cirksena).[1]
