Uphusen is a village in Lower Saxony, Germany. The East Frisian village is currently a borough (Stadtteil) of the city of Emden together with Marienwehr.
Uphusen was originally a village built on a warft. The current warft, with the church on it, was created from three smaller mounds. [1] The current church dates from the fifteenth century. This replaced an earlier church from the thirteenth century that was said to have been demolished and rebuilt in Veenhusen.
The name of the place is a combination of up ('higher') and husen ('houses'), therefore meaning “higher located houses”. [2]
