The Lathener ferryman, who testifies to the ferry operation on the Ems before the river had the current bridges, can be found directly at the central city fountain. Although the modern sculpture appears to be quite successful, it is difficult to compete with the much older Pingelanton near the train station.

This memorial in front of the Raiffeisenbank in Lathen shows the typical ferryman, how he transported people and goods across the Ems in the direction of Niederlangen / Oberlangen before the first Ems bridge was built around 1905. Source: juergen-koerner.de
