Geestemünde

Geestemünde stretches along the Geeste River with industrial zones, port facilities, and residential neighborhoods extending from the waterfront to inland areas.

The Kingdom of Hanover established Geestemünde in 1845 as a strategic port city to rival Bremen's maritime influence in the North Sea trade routes.

The district maintains maritime traditions through its active fishing port, seafood processing facilities, and connection to Germany's naval heritage.

The district connects to central Bremerhaven through multiple bus lines and features shopping centers, medical facilities, and educational institutions.

Geestemünde's fish processing industry developed into Germany's largest concentration of seafood companies, processing catches from the North Sea.
