Papenburg is small but mighty
Papenburg is situated in the district of Emsland in the north-west of Lower Saxony. The region is renowned for its shipbuilding tradition, but it also has much more to offer: The town with a population of 40,000 is also known as the “Venice of the North” due to its many bridges and canals, and the local quality of life is enhanced by a wide range of leisure and cultural activities and the stunning natural surroundings. Living in Papenburg is like being on holiday.
