A pünte is a historic ferry, more specifically a hand-pulled wagon ferry, which was particularly common in northern Germany, especially in East Frisia, and is still used in some cases today. A pünte is a flat, self-propelled cargo vessel that is pulled across the water by people or horses. It is often connected by a rope or chain attached to both banks, or is moved by a rope pulled by a crank or a horse on the bank. In the region around Leer in East Frisia, the pünte is known as the "Hand-Pulled Ferry Pünte" and is considered a special attraction and monument on the water. It is primarily used as a historic ferry, connecting the towns of Amdorf and Wiltshausen. In summary, a pünte is a historic ferry that is of particular interest due to its design and operation as a hand-pulled cargo vessel.

Company houses played a central role in the development of the Fehne: They were an important part of the infrastructure in the areas where the raised bog was extracted. The solid brick buildings served as administrative headquarters, accommodation, and a pub.

A beautiful installation. Definitely worth the trip.

Caution! Anyone crossing the street must watch out for fast drivers.

At 18m it's quite impressive for this region.
