Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JEVER , a town of Germany, in the grand-duchy of
Oldenburg
 , 13 M. by rail N.W. of Wilhelmshaven, and connected with the North Sea by a navigable canal. Pop. (1901), 5486. The
chief
 
industries
  are weaving, spinning, dyeing, brewing and milling; there is also a
trade
  in horses and cattle. The fathers (Die Getreuen) of the town used to send an annual birthday present of Ioi plovers' eggs to Bismarck, with a dedication in verse.
The castle of Jever was built by Prince Edo Wiemken (d. 1410), the ruler of Jeverland, a populous
district
  which in 1575 came under the
rule
  of the dukes of
Oldenburg
 . In 1603 it passed to the
house
  of Anhalt and was later the property of the empress Catherine II. of
Russia
 , a member of this family. In 1814 it came again into the possession of Oldenburg.
