    The "Water Town Povel" is a newly created district on the former premises of the textile factory Ludwig Povel & Co., which went bankrupt in 1979, in the center of Nordhorn. The new, densely populated district, which is around 18 hectares in size and is also affectionately known as "Little Venice", includes city residential and commercial buildings, serviced residential complexes, a city museum (Povel Tower), a cultural center, a park and a viewing hill (pyramid) with a wonderful view over Nordhorn and the Vechtesee.

    The heavily contaminated soil of the industrial site was largely cleaned on-site. This attracted worldwide interest. Even the American president sent a delegation to inspect the process.
