The Knockster Tief is a partly natural, partly artificially created body of water in the Aurich district and the city of Emden in East Frisia. Smaller rivers and canals are often called lows in the region. It is named after the region of Knock at the westernmost point of Emden and thus at the most south-western point of the East Frisian peninsula. At the Knock sluice and pumping station there is the passage (so to speak, the “mouth”) into the Ems. The Knockster Tief is the main receiving water for large parts of southwestern East Friesland. Together with its tributaries, it drains all or most of the municipalities of Emden, Hinte, Krummhörn, Südbrookmerland and Samtgemeinde Brookmerland, as well as the Leybuchtpolder district of the city of Norden and smaller parts of the city of Aurich and the municipality of Ihlow.
