Emden celebrates 125 years of Emder Zeitung with music, bets and fun!
The 125th anniversary of the Emder Zeitung was celebrated on June 30, 2025 with a colorful summer festival in the Emden city garden. Hundreds of visitors flocked to the park to celebrate this special anniversary and enjoy a program full of fun and activities. The impressive number of over 400 singers gathered at 2 p.m. to sing the iconic song “On the North Sea Coast” together.
The main focus of the celebrations was the amusing city bet with the popular duo Klaus & Klaus. Emden's mayor Tim Kruithoff, who also took part in the colorful singing, proved to be a fair loser. His participation underlined the festive nature of the day and created additional enthusiasm among those present. The weather cooperated and provided optimal conditions for celebrating and laughing outside.
A celebration for the whole family
The event had a lot to offer for guests big and small. Numerous games for children invited them to take part and the performances by various clubs and the fire department were a real eye-catcher. Here, visitors could not only take a look behind the scenes, but also actively participate in the events and learn something about the valuable work of the local institutions.
The atmosphere in the city garden was indescribable. Joy of life, sense of community and a touch of nostalgia were omnipresent as the sounds of music floated through the air. For many Emsland families, this day will hopefully be remembered for a long time and strengthen the feeling of cohesion in the city.
In summary, it can be said that the Emder Zeitung not only celebrated a great occasion with its big anniversary celebration, but also successfully served people's need for community and culture.
