About
About Bremerhaven
Bremerhaven is a port city on the east bank of the Weser estuary in northern Germany. It forms an exclave of the city-state of Bremen.
Bremerhaven is about 50 km north of Bremen. It was founded in the 19th century as a new port of the hanseatic city. Bremerhaven means literally "Bremen's Harbour" in English. Bremerhaven retains its function as an important international harbour covering large area north of the city, but is also a city of modern science: several scientific institutions lead by Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research are based here. It has a fine selection of museums, galleries, family activities, events and shopping making it an increasingly attractive tourist spot at German North Sea coast.
