The village was named in 1754 after Sebastian Eberhard Jhering, great-grandfather of Rudolf von Jhering. The village still has its classic peat canals.[1] Important elements of village life are the local sports club and the Lutheran church, which also covers the neighbouring village of Boekzetelerfehn.[2][3] The village church stands on the boundary between the two villages.
