Rote Mühle (Red Mill) Emden

Highlight • Monument

An integral part of the Rote Mühle is to encourage children to be aware of their environment and to learn to appreciate it. This is done on the one hand by caring for the animals living on the kindergarten (goats and rabbits) and looking after the wild animals on the wall (hedgehogs and birds). On the other hand, the large garden and the greenhouse offer a variety of options for planting, caring for and harvesting flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruit.

Emden Wall Information Board

Highlight • Historical Site

The Emder Wall is the early modern city fortifications and today a local recreation and green area in the city of Emden in East Frisia. During the Thirty Years' War, the wall protected the city of Emden as the only town in East Frisia from being taken over by foreign troops. (wikipedia)
Today, eight of the once eleven kennels remain. However, the Emden Wall is a rarity today due to its unity and the degree of its preservation. The wall is crossed by three canals running out of the city, which can be crossed on bridges. Three arterial roads also cross the wall, the most important of which can be crossed under. The other two crossings over the streets are secured by zebra crossings, so that a continuous walk from one end of the wall to the other is possible without any problems. Today with a large number of trees, the wall is valued by the people of Emden as a local recreation area. (emden tourism)
You can enter the city wall from various places.

Emder Wall Promenade

Highlight • Trail

The Emden Wall was extended shortly after 1600 by the city architect Gerrit Everts Piloot and reworked by the well-known fortress engineer Johan van Valckenborgh from 1615 onwards. The documents from this period contain detailed information on the height, width and location of each section of the wall. Emden still shows the original evidence of this architecture today. Emden's connection with the Dutch fortress building style of the 16th/17th century is interesting.
The future importance of the wall - regardless of its original purpose of defending the city - lies in the gardens. Tree planting has been documented since the 17th century and there are reports from 1813 onwards about the maintenance of the wall promenades.

Kesselschleuse, Emden

Highlight • Monument

This lock is like a crossing on the water. Here the ships can drive left, right or straight - really fascinating. This type of facility is unique in Europe and is a listed building.
