Neither original nor fake: The six ships in the Papenburg open-air exhibition are true-to-original replicas that were manufactured according to historical plans by Meyer Werft - metal models on a 1:1 scale, so to speak. They are located on the canals of the city center and are reminiscent of the great tradition of shipbuilders, who designed the right vehicle for every requirement.
The Papenburg open-air shipping museum is spread across the entire city and consists of six original-size replicas of Papenburg sailing ships from the 19th century.

In 1923, after a dramatic race against inflation, then Pastor Ocker ordered two new steel bells for 1,143,000 marks, which were consecrated and installed on March 23, 1924. The remaining small bronze bell was sold to finance the new steel bells. Inscriptions were omitted due to lack of funds.
In 1959, the Lutheran congregation donated a new bronze bell to mark the 100th anniversary. It was consecrated on October 23, 1959. Two more bronze bells were dedicated at the community's 150th anniversary celebrations in 2009. The steel bells had deep rust holes and had to be replaced. About €65,000 had to be raised for the bells and the construction work. The Nikolaikirche Papenburg e.V
