Landschaft Sylt

Landschaft Sylt is an Amt ("collective municipality") in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

Its administrative seat is in the town Westerland - which is not, however, a part of the Amt.

Subdivision

The Amt Landschaft Sylt consists of the following municipalities:

1. Hörnum
2. Kampen
3. List
4. Wenningstedt-Braderup

Note: The total number of inhabitants, under 4,500, is less than the minimum requirement for an independently administrated Amt (8,000 inhabitants). The administration of the Amt is thus shared with the Gemeinde Sylt. Since 2009, the seat of the Amt has been located in the townhall of the Gemeinde Sylt in Westerland.^[1]
