Johannes a Lasco Bibliothek
The library is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Individual guided tours are only possible by prior arrangement and confirmation.
The oldest library in East Frisia, founded in 1559 in the reformed parish, contains a valuable, historical collection of books, an encyclopaedic collection covering all fields of science and the Emden Bible. In 1948, the Great Church, Emden's "Moederkerk", was destroyed. The library and archive have been preserved and are now housed in the rebuilt church.
A library that is also more: an unusual space for cultural events - in the middle of the city.
In addition to concerts, conferences are regularly held here!
