An interesting display board explains the simple...but ingenious technology of the bridge/lifting technique: In theory & practice 👍🏻 Located between the German Emigration Center and the Climate House, connecting the old and new harbors📍.

When the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen wanted to build a port on the sea at the beginning of the 19th century, it purchased an area from the Kingdom of Hanover located 60 kilometers north of its own city limits. Since then, not only a huge port but also a separate city has grown there, which today belongs to the German federal state of Bremen. In the mid-19th century, Bremerhaven developed into the most important port for emigrants leaving Germany for America.
