The Ratsdelft is located in the heart of the city and forms the maritime center. The word "Delft" comes from delven - digging, digging up. The Delft is a natural body of water that has been dug up by humans. Formerly, he housed many ships with the Falderndelft and offered traders a new home. This long-gone maritime romanticism has not lost the Old Inland Port until today.
Discover on a canal cruise the still unknown beautiful sides of the city, which can only be seen from the water. A trip through the "Venice of the North" should not be missed.
Of course you can also explore the Old Inland Port on foot on the newly created harbor promenade. Starting at the Delft stairs, you walk along the water to the harbor gate, which was built in 1635 by Emder city master builder Martin Faber and is now one of the city's sights. On the archway you will find the Latin saying "Et pons est Embdae et portus and aura deus" which translated means "God is for Emden Bridge, Harbor and Sailwind". At the harbor gate you will find "Bittner's fish specialties. Enjoy a tasty fish specialty at this fish snack bar with a wonderful view over the Delft.
