Maritime Erlebniswelt Papenburg takes you on an exciting, interactive journey through the city's shipbuilding history – from wooden boats to steel ships.

Explore the canals with replicas of wooden ships and see how peat was transported from extraction to loading at the harbor – bringing maritime history to life.

With modern technology, you can even launch and steer ships virtually yourself – perfect for tech fans and anyone who prefers to learn through discovery, reading, and watching.
