Port of Oldenburg, Inland port on the Hunte River in Oldenburg, Germany
The Port of Oldenburg is an inland harbor on the Hunte River that links ships to coastal ports and across Europe. The site includes multiple loading docks, storage buildings, and berths for different types of vessels.
The port began in the 14th century as a trading point on the Hunte and grew over centuries into a major cargo hub for Lower Saxony. The waterways made the location a crossroads between regional and European trade routes.
The port area has a waterfront walkway where you can stroll past working cargo ships, pleasure boats, and older maritime buildings from different periods.
The port is close to highways A28 and A29 and has direct train connections to other cities. Visitors can reach the area easily by car or train and then walk along the water on foot.
The port area has a unique railway folding bridge over the Hunte that is one of only a few of its kind in Europe. This bridge opens for tall ships and then closes again for train traffic.
