Wolthusen is a former village in Lower Saxony, Germany and borough (German: Stadtteil) of Emden. It was incorporated into the city in 1928.

The village character can still be found around the old village church from 1784. The church, located on a yard, was built on the location where a predecessor had already been built in the fifteenth century.[1] The name of the village refers to its location in low, swampy meadows (wold), composed of -husen, i.e. 'houses'.[2]
