==Economy==
The main industries in Emden are automobile production and shipbuilding. [[Volkswagen]] runs a large production plant which builds the [[Volkswagen Passat]] car and which employs around 10,000 people. [[Emden harbor]] is also one of the three main ports for car shipping in Europe (together with [[Zeebrugge]] in Belgium and [[Bremerhaven]] in Germany). Emden is the main location from which vehicles produced at all Volkswagen Group factories in Germany are marshalled for export overseas.
More than 1.4 million cars were imported and exported in 2017.<ref>[https://www.autoport-emden.de Emden Autoport]. Retrieved 21 September 2021 (german).</ref> The ''Nordseewerke'' shipyard, a subsidiary of [[ThyssenKrupp]], employs around 1,400 dockers and specializes in conventional submarines. It also produces different kinds of cargo ships as well as ships for special purposes such as icebreakers, dredgers and other ships of that type. Another important economic sector is tourism, mainly as a day trip destination for tourists staying in the surrounding villages on the North Sea coastline.

The word "Yamandan" and "Emden" entered the lexicons of Malayalam and Tamil respectively after the bombing of Madras Harbour in 1914 by SMS Emden. The word in the local language means a humongous or huge and sometimes "a person who dares and works with precision".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/my-kolkata/places/emden-attack-a-german-cruiser-that-rocked-madras-india-during-world-war-i-in-september-1914/cid/1888328 | title=108 years of Emden – the only World War I attack on India }}</ref>
