Hafenmuseum Bremen, Maritime museum in Walle, Bremen, Germany

Hafenmuseum Bremen is a history museum housed in a warehouse building in Walle that focuses on the port's past and present. The exhibition displays navigation instruments, personal accounts, photographs, and objects that show how port work changed over many decades.

The building was constructed between 1908 and 1912 as a cotton warehouse that made the port's growth visible in the city. The museum opened in 2004 after renovation and has since preserved the harbor's history for future generations.

The museum's name refers to the former Überseehafen basin, filled in during the redevelopment of the harbour area into the Überseestadt district. Eyewitness accounts are played as audio recordings alongside the exhibits, so visitors hear former dock workers describe cargo handling and daily harbour life in their own words.

The museum is located in a large warehouse building with accessible pathways for visitors to move comfortably through the exhibition spaces. Guests should allow time to explore the different sections and learn from the displays at their own pace.

The museum occupies the southeastern gable end of Speicher XI, a 400-metre cotton warehouse built 1908–1912 and the longest building in Bremen. Saved from demolition by the patron Klaus Hübotter and renovated in 2003, the warehouse is a protected industrial monument since 1994 and also houses the University of the Arts Bremen.
