    Most of these fens were created by private entrepreneurs who focused on commercial peat extraction and hoped for high profits. One example is the "Rhauderfehn Compagnie," founded in 1765 and consisting of five partners. They met in their own "Compagniehaus," one of the first permanent stone houses in Ostrhauderfehn, to discuss their investments. The spacious house, built near the lock (Verlaat) on the Fehn Canal, stood out clearly from the small and simple dwellings of the settlers.

    Like this fen, all other fens are easily accessible by bike, located on roads with relatively little traffic.
