Haren, Shipping center in Emsland, Germany
The municipality of Haren extends along the Ems River and connects to the Dortmund-Ems-Kanal, serving as a gateway between industrial regions and the North Sea.
The settlements of Altharen and Neuharen, documented since 890 in Corvey Abbey records, merged into a single municipality in 1956 before receiving city status in 1965.
Twenty major shipping companies maintain their headquarters in Haren, establishing the city as a central maritime hub with multiple nautical museums displaying historical vessels.
The Danker See lake offers water activities including skiing, diving, and windsurfing, while the surrounding area features numerous bicycle paths for exploration.
After World War II, Haren temporarily transformed into a Polish settlement named Maczków, housing 4,000 displaced Poles and functioning as their community center.
