Butjadingen () is a peninsula and municipality in the Wesermarsch district, in Lower Saxony, Germany.
==Geography== Butjadingen is situated on the German North Sea coast. It is bordered on the west and southwest by the Jade River and the east by the Weser River. It forms the northern part of the Wesermarsch district and has a rather low population. The political borough of Butjadingen adjoins Nordenham which geographically is also part of the peninsula Butjadingen. thumb|left|Typical view of Butjadingen The peninsula was formed during the Middle Ages when huge floods created today's North Sea coastlines. After the Second Marcellus Flood on January 13, 1362 (which occurred around the day of Marcelli Pontificis) Butjadingen temporarily became an island. thumb|left|Pipe organ at the St. Laurentius Church, Langwarden (Butjadingen)
