All of East Frisia in a single day

East Frisia at 1:87 scale – harbours, dikes, islands and towns, in motion and shifting between day and night. Plus a park and mini golf, all on one site.

Day & night

When the lights go down

Thousands of windows light up, street lamps come on and the fairground becomes the brightest place in the region. Stay a moment and you see the same scene twice – completely differently.

Exhibition

A region you understand from above

From the harbour of Leer via Emden and Aurich out to the islands: the model world shows East Frisia the way you would otherwise only see it from the air. Trains run and a ship makes its way along the Ems.

Many scenes tell small stories – the fire brigade on the country road, the rowing boat on the lake, the helicopter above the hospital. Look twice and you will find something different the second time.

Exhibition

What there is to see

East Frisia from the coast to the inland

Towns & villages

Leer, Emden, Aurich, Pewsum, Hinte, Suurhusen, Marienhafe and many more – each with its own town sign.

Coast & islands

Dikes, mudflats and the islands of Norderney and Juist with beaches, lighthouses and ferries.

Harbours & engineering

The Ems with its locks and harbour cranes, plus continuous train operations right across the layout.

Everyday scenes

The fire brigade on the country road, the rowing boat on the lake, the air ambulance above the hospital, the fair at the edge of town.
