Historisches Museum Bremerhaven

The Historisches Museum Bremerhaven is a local museum in the port city that displays maritime artifacts, industrial equipment, and historical documents across several exhibition areas in a modern building. The collections span different topics and allow visitors to gain a full overview of the city's history.

The museum was established in 1991 and documents the development of Bremerhaven from its founding as a port city to its rise as a major shipping center. It preserves the key events and changes that shaped the city.

The collections display photographs, tools, and objects that show the daily life, maritime customs, and industrial roots of Bremerhaven across many generations. Visitors can see in these items the story of the people who shaped this city.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and gives visitors time to explore the exhibitions at their own pace. It is easy to reach and has accessible entrances for all guests.

The museum operates the FMS GERA, a former fishing vessel that serves as a museum ship and offers visitors authentic experiences on board. The ship is accessible during warmer months and gives a special sense of maritime work.
