Facts and practical information

Ekel is the eastern part of the town centre of Norden. Its name goes back to a Low German description for "acorn" or "oak grove", which gave its name to a medieval fortified house about 800 metres northeast of the big market place. Later a private estate and then part of the agriculturally dominated Norden environs, in the 20th century Ekel quickly merged with Norden as a result of new housing estates and was finally incorporated in 1919.
