Bremerhaven Radar Tower, Radio relay tower in Bremerhaven, Germany

The Bremerhaven Radar Tower is a 107.3-metre reinforced concrete tower in the Mitte district, built between 1962 and 1965 for the radar chain on the Outer Weser. Its 33-metre antenna needle reaches 113.6 metres above sea level. A visitor room at 59 metres in the 7.5-metre tower head is currently closed to tourists.

The tower was constructed between 1962 and 1965, reflecting post-war advances in maritime communication technology. Its completion represented a modernization step for port infrastructure in northern Germany.

The tower is commonly called the Radarturm, though it carries no radar antenna itself; the radar images come from stations along the Weser and are processed in the traffic centre next door. At night it can be lit in changing colours, and scenes of an ARD crime series about customs investigators were filmed inside it.

The tower is closed to tourist traffic until further notice, so the visitor room at 59 metres cannot be entered. The building beside it houses the Bremerhaven traffic centre, which processes the radar images and data from the stations along the Weser. The tower can be illuminated in changing colours after dark.

Unlike most transmission towers in Germany, this one is operated by Bremerhaven's port authority rather than a telecommunications or broadcasting company. This distinction highlights its focus on shipping safety rather than commercial networks.
