Picturesque siel harbor with cutter fleet and ferry connections to Emden
The village of Ditzum was founded in the 8th century on a natural drainage channel. After the dyke was built (from 1000), the construction of a sluice became necessary. The first surviving wooden sluice was built in 1546. In 1752, the first solid sluice structure with a width of 6.30 m was built. The current sluice was built in 1890/91 with a width of over 7.00 m. At the time, the sluice was used as a transportation route for the brickworks and sawmill that had settled here. As part of the new harbor construction in 1987/88, the sluice structure was renewed and brought up to the latest technical standards, so that the sluice port is still fully functional today.
