Originally there were two villages: Big and small Emden Emden. The latter, however, was due to emigration around the 13th century to the deserted village. The exact causes that led to the exodus, still need to be investigated. It is however generally believe that the residents (ie today Emden ) moved to the nearby Great Emden to escape arson or diseases.

Based on this proposed action, the community is waiting with the renewal of roads and sidewalks, so as not to have to wear double costs. The biggest parts of this work have been realized in 2009. The sewage system was completed and designed the main street entirely new with ancillary facilities.
