In this port, which lies at the end of an Althrein arm and flows into the Rhine, numerous pioneers learned their trade up until 2008. Many soldiers of Engineer Battalion 140 from the barracks in Emmerich learned to drive boats and build bridges and ferries here. In 2008 the port was abandoned together with the barracks in Emmerich.

There used to be a port for the Bundeswehr here, you can still see the remains of the ramp for crossings.
