Schiffahrtsmuseum der oldenburgischen Unterweser

The Maritime Museum of the Oldenburg Lower Weser occupies multiple buildings, presenting extensive collections of ships, nautical equipment, and maritime artifacts from the region.

Established in 1960, the museum emerged from initial plans for a local heritage institution in 1929, finally opening its doors in the Telegraph building of Brake.

The museum maintains a library containing 5,412 volumes and an archive with 2,146 documents, serving as a research center for maritime studies and regional history.

Between November and March, the museum operates on winter schedules in both Brake and Elsfleth locations, offering guided tours for groups upon reservation.

The museum features a digital rally game called 'The Curse of Captain Gruselauge' that guides children through maritime history exhibits.
