Escort City Emden
Emden - North German pearl directly on the North Sea.
Emden was first mentioned in documents as early as the Middle Ages. The official history of the town began in 1224. Its rise to a successful and prosperous city began just a few years later. Benefiting from its location on the River Ems and in close proximity to the North Sea, Emden quickly became one of the most important transhipment and trading centers. Goods from all over the world landed here and were transported onwards. Emden reached the peak of its importance in the 15th century, with more and more people moving to the growing city. Later, the city at the mouth of the Ems retained its importance as a major naval and trading port. However, this proved to be its undoing during the Second World War. Due to its importance, the city was the target of many heavy bombing raids and was almost completely destroyed. The war losses were enormous and yet Emden was rebuilt surprisingly quickly. What's more, within a very short space of time, the Ems metropolis developed into a very modern and efficient port city and an important German North Sea port. In addition, the automotive and shipping industries ensure economic prosperity.

Sightseeing
Emden is a wonderful city to live in. Clean air, friendly people, captivating nature and, of course, the North Sea. The city offers the best culture, excellent healthcare, great jobs and an amazing amount of greenery. The cost of living is pleasantly low compared to other cities. The recreational value of the port city is huge. It goes without saying that Emden is an Eldorado for water sports fans. Surfing, sailing, kiting and much more are on the agenda. The proximity to the beautiful East Frisian islands and the offshore Wadden Sea nature reserve is particularly special. There is a direct ferry from Emden to the East Frisian island of Borkum. The ferry ports to the other East Frisian islands of Juist, Baltrum, Norderney, Wangerooge, Langeoog and Spiekeroog can be reached in just a few minutes by car. A day trip to any of these uniquely beautiful North Sea gems is worthwhile at any time of year. Holland with its wonderful coastline and offshore islands is also very close by. There is never a dull moment in Emden thanks to the large music and cultural scene.
OTTO, art and harbor flair
Otto Waalkes, probably the most famous East Frisian of all time, was born and grew up in Emden. In his shows and films, the passionate East Frisian, who now lives in Hamburg, has often created a monument to his home town and the surrounding landscape. The East Frisian boy Otto is probably the world's best ambassador for Emden. That's why a visit to the Otto-Huus is a must when visiting the port city. The museum magically attracts thousands of visitors, who have a great time in the successful exhibition.Henri Nannen and the Kunsthalle
The founder of Stern magazine and long-time editor-in-chief Henri Nannen also came from Emden. The journalist of the century was an avid art collector and amassed spectacular works of art over the course of his life. In 1986, Nannen donated his art collection of 650 paintings and sculptures, mainly from the Expressionist period, to his home town of Emden and the museum. The museum is considered by many to be the cultural beacon in the north of Lower Saxony and enjoys an international reputation. It owes this above all to important works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein and Emil Nolde.A library with a global reputation
The restored Great Church in the heart of the city center is a real gem for art and culture enthusiasts: the Johannes a Lasco Library is a world-renowned center for research into the history of the Reformation. The library has a unique collection of historical writings and is well worth a visit.Historic harbor flair
The port of Emden is the heart and pulse of the city. You can linger here for hours, watching the ships sail in and out. The cries of the seagulls, the wonderful North Sea air, a great experience. Be sure to visit: The inland port with its lovingly restored museum ships that bring Emden's seafaring past to life. Great: The rescue cruiser Georg Breusing and the herring lugger Stadt Emden. Emden is criss-crossed by many canals. This is very charming and entices you to take one of the absolutely worthwhile tours on one of the small ships. Not to be missed.
