Abstract: We construct families of embedded, singly periodic Karcher--Scherk saddle towers of any genus $g$ in the quotient with any even number $2n>2$ of almost parallel Scherk ends. A surface in such a family looks like $n$ parallel planes connected by $n-1+g$ small catenoid necks. In the limit, the family converges to an $n$-sheeted vertical plane with $n-1+g$ singular points termed nodes in the quotient. For the nodes to open up into catenoid necks, their locations must satisfy a set of balance equations whose solutions are given by the roots of Stieltjes polynomials. In a subsequent paper, we will construct minimal surfaces by gluing saddle towers with catenoid limits of saddle towers along their wings.
