Falderndelft
The Falderndelft in Emden is part of the Emden harbor . Together with the Ratsdelft and the Old Inland Port, it forms the historical part of the port, which has long since ceased to be used for handling goods.
In the early modern times, however, there was a lot of activity on the Falderndelft and the Ratsdelft. The ships landed here, in the middle of today's city center and in the historic city center within sight of the town hall . Characteristic of the buildings on the banks were packing houses in which the goods were loaded directly from the ship into the warehouses using winches.
The first documented shipyard in Emden was also built on the Falderndelft . This is attested for the 15th century. At the end of the 16th century, three shipyards were located on Delft. Ships were built on the Falderndelft in the centuries that followed. The Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg , known as the Great Elector, was given a shipyard area on the Falderndelft in 1682, on which the Brandenburg shipyard was built. It was renamed the Zum Prussischen Adler shipyard in 1751 and is a forerunner of the Cassens shipyard , which still exists today , but has found its place in the modern part of the port.
Today the Falderndelft is primarily used for tourist purposes. The banks have been turned into promenades, and they also offer moorings for leisure captains.
The Falderndelft is connected to the Kesselschleuse via its branch, the Rote Siel . The Falderndelft is therefore of great importance for boat tourism on the East Frisian inland waters. Occasionally barges also use the waterway. These are almost exclusively to small piers on the Ems-Jade Canal in Bangstede and Aurich , where feed (Bangstede) and building materials (Aurich) are handled.
