The names of the municipalities contain a number of spelling mistakes, and some have become renamed or incorporated into other municipalities. This is a list of corrections/updates:

Flottwedel: now part of Wietzendorf
Kirchlingen: doesn't exist, maybe Kirchlinteln is meant?
Holtriehm: possibly Holtriem, a Samtgemeinde (an association of several small municipalities) in the county Wittmund.
Bodenteich: was recently declared a spa and is now named Bad Bodenteich
