history

The city of Emden was built in 1908 as a sailing logger at a Scheveningen shipyard on behalf of the Netherlands and operated as a herring logger for fishing with drift nets until 1931 . After that, the ship was still used under sail as a cement freighter in the Norwegian coastal voyage. In 1950 the ship received an auxiliary diesel engine there.

In 1977 the ship came to Bremerhaven , where it was initially planned to convert it into a floating restaurant. After these plans were not implemented, the wooden sailing logger was donated by Werner Kühn from Bremerhaven to the working group Museumslogger eV in Emden in 1987 . In 1988/89 he carried out the first internal restoration of the city of Emden on his own, which was based on the shape and room layout of a type of logger from around 1872. The basis was the construction plans of the Visserijmuseum (fishing museum) Vlaardingen and the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg .

In January 2010 the ship's hull was completely renovated (re-planking after a broken frame) and a mast was replaced at the Bültjer boatyard in Ditzum . The cost was around 250,000 euros. The German Foundation for Monument Protection contributed 25,000 euros.
