The city is particularly known for being home to the Meyer Werft shipyard, one of the largest and most modern shipyards in the world, which has been building ships since 1795.
The city's layout features a unique system of canals that were historically used for transport and peat harvesting, giving Papenburg the nickname "Venice of the North."
