Emden, Port city in Lower Saxony, Germany

Located at the mouth of the Ems River, Emden features a large harbor connecting the North Sea with industrial regions through the Dortmund-Ems Canal.

Founded around 800, Emden transformed from a Baltic trade port into a Protestant refuge during the 16th century Dutch wars of independence.

The East Friesland Museum and town armory, constructed in the 16th century, display the maritime and regional heritage of this northern German settlement.

The port facilities handle automobile exports, shipbuilding operations, and serve as a terminal for natural gas pipelines from North Sea extraction sites.

Through wind farms and solar installations, Emden generates 117 percent of its residential electricity needs, equivalent to 240 megawatt-hours annually.
