I was wondering whether the similarity between diminutive -ing, in
North-Eastern German Low Saxon, and our nasal -ien  diminutive is a
coincidence or a case of cognation.

This site is an addition to Gaston Dorren's book Taaltoerisme, and is about
53 languages of Europe. He's currently working at an English and a German
translation, and also at an app for Language Lovers who travel around
Europe.
