German Bight (German: Deutsche Bucht, Danish: Tyske Bugt) is the south-eastern bight of the North Sea bounded by the Netherlands and Germany to the south, and Denmark and Germany to the east (the Jutland peninsula). To the north and west it's limited by the Dogger Bank. The bight contains the Frisian islands. The islands and the nearby coastal areas are collectively known as Frisia. The southern portion of the bight is also known as the Heligoland Bight. Between 1949 and 1956 the BBC Sea Area Forecast (Shipping Forecast) used "Heligoland" as the designation for the area known as the German Bight.
