June 15, 2026, Drawbridge on the Ems-Jade Canal

No natural river flows through Aurich, but rather the artificially created Ems-Jade Canal. It connects the cities of Emden, Aurich and Wilhelmshaven. The canal is 72 kilometers long

A typical small town center with a beautiful old town and market square.

Built in 1800, until 1934 there was a harbor here and the Pingelhus announced the ships

The Pingelhus (also Schuitenhäuschen)[1] is located in the center of the East Frisian district town of Aurich. It is considered one of the city's landmarks. The building once stood directly on the old harbor of the town. From there, the inland vessels called "Schuiten" departed in the direction of Emden. The harbor master announced their departure by ringing a bell in the building's steeple, which is why it became known in East Frisia as the Pingelhus (East Frisian Platt: "pingeln" = to ring).[3] The current ground floor was formerly the first floor. The storage room below was filled in along with the old harbor in 1934. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pingelhus
