View of Meyer Werft Shipyard

Highlight • Viewpoint

GOOD BY TRADITION

The Meyer family has kept the shipbuilding company on course for around 225 years - now in the seventh generation. As in the early days, the shipyard is still in Papenburg. This is where the founder of the shipyard, Willm Rolf Meyer, began building small wooden sailing ships in 1795. In the decades and centuries that followed, MEYER WERFT repeatedly demonstrated a pioneering spirit. We expanded our production and shipyard halls and in 2018 delivered the world's first cruise ship to be powered by low-emission liquefied natural gas. Today, MEYER WERFT is regarded as the technology leader in cruise ship construction.

We know that we owe this success primarily to our employees and the partner companies that work for us. That's why we continue to ensure that we work together in a spirit of partnership - and bear responsibility for the people, the region and the environment.

The Emssauen on the left of the Ems between Halte and Rhede open up a great view of the east side of the river. The route is easy to drive on.

Dike path along the Ems

Highlight • Cycleway

It is clearly faster and shorter from Rhede to Papenburg, but this route is probably the most beautiful route, even if you miss Aschendorf and Gut Altenkamp.

The Ems is dammed. The meadows are flooded.

The largest employer in Emsland

Directly at the Meyer Werft shipyard, there is a large parking lot, food and drink, and an observation deck.

Experience shows that it gets very crowded on weekends.
