Brückenanlage zwischen Altem und Neuem Hafen
Brückenanlage zwischen Altem und Neuem Hafen, Bridge complex between ports in Bremerhaven, Germany
The bridge ensemble consists of two bascule bridges connecting the Old and New Harbor areas through the H.-H.-Meier-Strasse in Bremerhaven-Mitte.
The bridge complex was constructed in 1927 when the Old Harbor connected to the New Harbor, following the filling of the previous Geeste lock in 1933.
The four-story brick machine house tower contains technical operating rooms and a control room offering an overview of the entire bridge installation.
The bridges feature a clearance height of 5.51 meters and can be operated manually during power outages through a patented joint rod drive system.
Three small machine houses at each bridge contain electric motors for operation, while the bridge arches engage with gear racks during opening and closing movements.
