Historic Port of Emden

The Historic Port of Emden is one of the most impressive urban port facilities in northern Germany, showcasing the centuries-old maritime history of East Frisia in a remarkable way. Nestled in the center of the city, an atmosphere unfolds here that is both nostalgic and lively. The restored traditional ships gently rocking in the water and the historic cobblestones along the quay allow one to dive deep into the past – a place to pause, especially on a pleasurable convertible tour.

In addition to the museum ships, the old lighthouse ship "Amrumbank," and the rescue cruiser "Georg Breusing," there are numerous information panels that tell of Emden's significance as a trading and shipbuilding city.
