Haus Seefahrt, Maritime social facility in Bremen, Germany.

The Haus Seefahrt operates as a foundation that supports elderly seafarers and their families, providing essential care services and community connections.

Established in 1545, Haus Seefahrt emerged during the Reformation period when church support for mariners decreased, becoming Europe's oldest active social fund.

The foundation organizes the annual Schaffermahlzeit, a traditional maritime dinner that brings together merchants, captains, and community members to maintain seafaring traditions.

Located near Bremen's waterfront, the facility maintains regular hours for visitors interested in learning about maritime heritage through exhibitions and guided tours.

The foundation funded the construction of Vegesack port between 1619 and 1623, creating Germany's first artificial seaport.
