The Saterland was part of the archdeaconate of Merzen in the Diocese of Osnabrück until religious overlordship was given to Münster in 1803; the secular part went to the Dukes of Oldenburg.

Saterland Frisian, also known as Sater Frisian or Saterlandic (Seeltersk), is the last living dialect of the East Frisian language.

The vast majority of all native speakers are found among the elder generation; Saterlandic thus is a seriously endangered language.
