Emden

Set along the Ems estuary on Germany’s North Sea coast, Emden is a city whose character is shaped by tides, shipping and the wide East Frisian horizon. The working harbour is central to local life, with sea-going trade, a major vehicle-export terminal and ferry connections to Borkum; the Dortmund–Ems Canal also ties Emden to Germany’s inland waterways. East Frisian tea is part of everyday ritual, served with rock sugar and cream. Culture has a strong foothold too: Kunsthalle Emden, established in 1986 on the initiative of publisher Henri Nannen, presents modern art, while the Otto Huus recalls comedian Otto Waalkes, who was born here.
