Bremerhaven

Bremerhaven stands on the eastern bank of the Weser River estuary, functioning as a crucial maritime gateway with extensive container terminals and shipping facilities.

The city establishment in 1827 marked Bremen's strategic expansion to secure direct sea access, transforming a small fishing settlement into Germany's primary emigration port.

The German Emigration Center documents the stories of millions who departed Europe through Bremerhaven's port between 1830 and 1974 for the Americas.

Visitors access the Maritime District through regular train connections from Bremen central station, with services running every thirty minutes throughout the day.

The Klimahaus science center allows visitors to experience temperature zones and climates from different global locations along the eighth degree of longitude.
